Correspondence: Professor Jegan Krishnan, Orthopaedic Department, Repatriation General Hospital, Daws Road, Daw Park SA 5041, Australia. Tel.: +1-61-8-8275-1753; Fax: +61-8-83740712; E-mail: jegan.krishnan{at}flinders.edu.au

This prospective randomized trial compared a non-bridging external fixator with a bridging external fixator system for the treatment of severe comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. The results did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in the radiological and clinical outcomes achieved with these two treatments.

Key Words: distal radius • intra-articular fracture • external fixation
