ORIF vs ExFix. Plate fixation is better than external fixation combined with perc pinning for the treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures. ORIF yields better functional outcomes, DASH, supination, bony anatomy, less infection. Ex-Fix results in better grip strength and flexion.
Cause. The most common cause of a distal radius fracture is a fall onto an outstretched arm. Osteoporosis (a disorder, common in older adults, in which bones become very fragile and more likely to break) can make a relatively minor fall result in a broken wrist.
