Abstract
There is evidence in our systematic review and meta-analysis to support that bridging external fixation can reduce the incidence of pin tract infections and nerve injury compared to non-bridging external fixation, but have no significant difference in other complications and the recovery of wrist joint function. Bridging external fixation could therefore be a better choice in patients with distal radius fractures.
