Extraarticular Distal Radius Fractures, X-fix or Volar Fixation
Dorsally Displaced Extraarticular Distal Radius Fractures - Volar Plate or External Fixation. A Prospective Randomized Trial

Distal radius fractures are treated surgically if severely displaced. This study aims to investigate the outcome after surgery. The investigators will randomize patients to either external fixation with optional addition of k-wires or open reduction and fixation with a volar plate.

This study has been merged with study NCT01035359 and a new ethical permission has been granted by the Swedish National Ethic board
