Abstract
Fractures of the distal radius are frequently biarticular injuries and comprise four basic components. Displacement of the key medial fragments and their strong ligamentous attachments (termed the medial complex) is the basis for a useful classification into four fracture types. Optimal management requires precise correlation of articular disruption and prompt recognition and repair of any concomitant soft tissue or skeletal injury.
