Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis for distal radius fractures using a 3-point positioning technique

Figure 1 A patient with a C1 distal radius fracture underwent manual reduction and temporary Kirschner wire fixation after being anesthetized. A and B: 3D reconstruction computed tomography of the fracture; C: Closed manipulation reduction; D: A 15 mm diameter Kirschner wire was inserted from the styloid process of the radius to the ulnar side of the proximal fracture; E and F: Anteroposterior and lateral wrist joint X-rays were taken after manual reduction and temporary Kirschner wire fixation.
