Abstract:
The distal radius and the proximal row of carpal joints are important components of the carpal joint. Injury to the distal radius may result in decreased range of motion and strength of the wrist, and changes in the wrist appearance can hurt the patients. Developing microsurgical techniques, and updating orthopedic metal instruments and bone biological products provide more possible means for surgical reconstruction. Currently, reconstruction of the distal radius with autologous bone grafting is the mainstream surgical method, and the fibula and ilium are the main options for grafting. Moreover, other repair methods have also been reported, such as prosthetic repair and repair using the ulna to replace the radial function. This article reviews the main forms of surgical repair and reconstruction after distal radius injury reported in recent years, compares the clinical effects of different surgical methods, and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each surgical method, hoping to provide useful information for the treatment of distal radius injury.
