Abstract

Fractures of the distal radius are extremely common injuries, which are steadily becoming a public health issue. One of the most common complications following distal radius fractures is still malunion of the distal radius. This review of the literature surrounding distal radius malunion covers the biomechanics of distal radial malunion, treatment options, indications for surgery, surgical techniques, and results.
