RESUMEN
To compare the treatment outcome of comminuted intra-articular fractures distal radius with adynamic external fixator and dynamic external fixator in patients of 40-65 years of age. Experimental Study. This study was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedic, Nishtar Hospital, Multan from Jan 2010 to December 2011. This experimental study was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedic, Nishtar Hospital, Multan. A total of 60 patients in both groups were included in the study. Out of the 60 patients, 43 [71.7%] were male and 17 [28.3%] were female with the right hand 35 [58.3%] and left hand 25 [41.7%]. It is concluded that dynamic external fixator is a better method of treatment for the comminuted fractures of the distal radius than adynamic external fixator because it allows early motion of tendons, muscles and adjacent joints and later, of the wrist itself while reduction and especially radial length were maintained in bridging external fixation
