ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides both methods and apparatus for stable internal fixation of distal radius fractures. The apparatus includes a tined plate designed for implantation which is attached to the distal radius with the tines located in fragments of the distal radius and the methods are adapted to placed the plate in the proper position on the dorsal surface of the distal radius.
