AbstractIndications for surgical treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) remain controversial in the literature, especially in elderly patients. Complication rates after operatively treated DRF are low and well documented. These include malunion, degenerative osteoarthritis in the radiocarpal joint and subsequently pain and impaired hand function. If conservative treatment fails then salvage procedures are necessary. This review summarizes the therapeutic options available to treat degenerative osteoarthritis after malunited distal radius fractures, regardless of the initial operative or conservative treatment.
