The best outcome in distal radius fractures is achieved if anatomy is restored, in particular the intra-articular congruity. This is achieved partly with improved fixation, such as using volar locking plates, and partly by using an arthroscopy-assisted reduction and fixation technique. In addition to improving the intra-articular congruity, associated ligament and chondral injuries can be detected and treated. This article outlines various associated injuries with suggested management in a stepwise fashion. It is hoped that overall outcomes will be improved once patient-related and treatment-related factors have been evaluated and previously undetected associated ligament injuries have been found and treated.
