Intramedullary nailing and plating osteosynthesis in the correction of post-traumatic deformity in late-diagnosed distal radius fractures: a retrospective comparison study.

Open-wedge osteotomy with either an intramedullary nail or locking plate fixation yielded encouraging radiographic and functional outcomes. Intramedullary nail fixation may facilitate restoration of radial height and inclination with better wrist flexion, less implant-related complications, and greater patient satisfaction.
