Resum

A total of 73 cases of C2 type fracture of the distal radius treated in our Department are presented. A volar pla- te was used as fixation method in 3 cases, Kirschner wire in 38 cases, external fixator in 30 cases, and external fixator plus Kirschner wire in 2 cases. The best results were obtai- ned in the groups of cases treated with a volar plate and ex- ternal fixator associated with Kirschner wire. The isolated external fixator, that at first was the best system of treatment, has turned out to be the procedure that has been accompa- nied by a greater incidence of clinical sequels and vicious consolidations.
