This cohort of complete intra-articular distal radius fractures (AO/OTA 23 C2-3) shows a good clinical outcome at medium-term follow-up independent of the radiological outcome. A concomitant polytrauma was associated with worse functional outcome and a higher complication rate. This is most likely due to the associated injury severity. These factors help the treating physician in decision-making and informing patients when treating displaced intra-articular radius fractures.
