using a plate as a distraction method bridging the comminution to restore anatomical parameters to treat comminuted distal radius fracture follow-up functional outcomes of the wrist after metal removal
The plate is extended from the floor of the 2end extensor compartment at an intact radius to the 2end metacarpal by dual minimally invasive skin incisions. One distal over 2end metacarpal and Other proximal over 2end extensor compartment at intact radius application of distal screws 1st, then the traction is done to restore radial length, radial inclination, and volar tilt followed by the application of proximal screws add wires to restore the joint congruity wire removal after 45 days, plate removal after 100 day follow up every 3 months till 1 year post-operative Assess the Functional Outcome Of the wrist joint after metal removal

This technique deals with comminuted distal radius fracture using a distraction plate. The plate was inserted by minimally invasive skin incisions, fixed from the 2end metacarpal distally to the 2end extensor compartment at intact radius proximally Spaning the comminution, Restoring the Radial Length, Radial Inclination, Volar Tilt
