Abstract
Distal radius and ulna fractures are the most common fracture. Non-operative management can be successful for stable fractures. However, displaced or unstable fractures are usually indicated for operative treatment to restore alignment and function. One of the ways of treating complex distal radius
fractures is by using a fragment specific fixation technique. Fragment-specific fixation is usually indicated in cases in which stabilization of specific articular segments and may augment monoblock or spanning plates especially to reconstruct articular congruity.It is important to treat intra-articular radius
fractures with care and minimize the risk of complications. Therefore, the aim of this study to review treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures using fragment-specific fixation
