Abstract：Objective To study the clinical effect of limited internal fixation combined with external fixator for the treatment of comminuted distal radius fractures .Methods From Nov.2010 to Sep.2015,limited internal fixation of kirschner wire combined with external fixator was used in the treatment of 22 cases of comminuted distal radius fractuers.According to AO/ASIF classification,there were 4 cases definded as C1,10 cases as C2,and 8 ca-ses as C3.The curing effect was evaluated based on the wrist joint function and imaging materials ( radius height , volar tilt angle,and ulnar inclination angle ).Results All 22 cases were followed up for 4-16 months.According to Gartland evaluation standard,10 cases were excellent,9 cases were good,2 were fair,and 1 was poor,and the ex-cellent and good rate was 86.4%. Conclusion Limited internal fixation combined with external fixator in the treatment of comminuted distal radius fracture is an effective and satisfactory curing method .
