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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
