With advent of buttress plates, open plating has become a treatment of choice in young adults whereas Kirschner wire fixation with external fixator application have achieved good results in osteoporotic and medically compromised patients. 2006 (3):CD003324.Background: Distal radius fractures are commonly seen and have various treatment methods available in literature hence, a clear consensus could not be reached as to the most ideal modality of management.
