What is a comminuted fracture of the distal left radius?

Fractures of the distal left radius are severe fractures. They

are usually caused by high-energy trauma, such as palm support when falling. This complex injury mechanism makes fractures diverse and severe. Due to its comminuted characteristics, reduction and fixation are challenging. Surgery may be required to accurately reduce and stabilize fixation to promote fracture healing and restore wrist function. Complications such as fracture nonunion, malunion, traumatic arthritis, etc. are prone to occur, which will seriously affect wrist mobility and hand function.

After surgery, a period of rehabilitation training, including joint mobility training, muscle strength training, etc., is required to gradually restore normal wrist function. Fractures of the distal left radius require high attention. Patients should actively seek medical attention and cooperate with doctors for standardized treatment and rehabilitation to minimize sequelae and restore good wrist function.
