The DRF treatment goal is to re-establish wrist functionality and range of motion while preventing subsequent complication like osteoarthritis [To sum up, our proposed method could restore palmar tilt, radial inclination and radius height more properly when compared with the prior external fixation technique. Since radiological difference in radius height and radial inclination was observed at 6 weeks follow up and not immediately post-operation, group B method was more successful in prevention of reduction collapse. It is necessary to mention that although the radiological parameters were statistically significant, but we are in doubt whether these amounts are also clinically significant. Maybe with longer follow ups, it will become evident that some delayed complications like late arthrosis, which causes pain and decreased range of motion, also subside.
