| description | Distal radius fractures are very common in medical practice. In our service, we may not have the most widely used devices for fixation of these fractures at a given moment. For this reason, we must consider all possible combinations within our power to correct them since most of the time, it is impossible to maintain a fracture reduction using a single technique. We present the case of a 24-year-old female patient treated at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital in Cienfuegos due to a displaced fracture of the left distal radius caused by impaction. It was successfully stabilized by internal fixation with plates, screws and the RALCA® external mini-fixator. |
