Abstract
The authors present a series of 39 intra-articular fractures of the distal part of the radius classified as Frykman VII and VIII. Clinical results showed 77% of good and very good results. Radiographs showed 71% of reduced articular surfaces but only 37% of radiuses were considered to be anatomical. The authors emphasize the high rate of secondary displacement due to the epiphyseal comminution, and the importance of pre-operative radiographs obtained under traction, allowing good analysis of the fracture and evaluation of the comminution.
