About Distal Radius ORIF

Distal Radius Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is a specialized orthopedic surgical procedure performed to repair a broken wrist. The distal radius is the larger of the two forearm bones at the wrist joint. This surgery involves making an incision to directly access the fractured bone fragments (open reduction), realigning them into their correct anatomical position, and then securing them with internal hardware such as plates, screws, or pins. This precise fixation provides stability, promotes proper bone healing, and aims to restore optimal wrist function, strength, and range of motion. It is a common and effective treatment for complex fractures that cannot be managed with casting alone, helping patients return to their daily activities and work.

Key Highlights

Provides stable, anatomical fixation for proper bone healing.Allows for early, controlled movement of the wrist and hand to prevent stiffness.Significantly reduces the risk of long-term deformity or arthritis.Restores wrist function, strength, and range of motion more reliably than casting for complex fractures.Uses biocompatible hardware (plates/screws) that often do not require removal.

Who is this surgery for?

Displaced or unstable fractures of the distal radius (Colles' fracture, Smith's fracture).
Intra-articular fractures where the break extends into the wrist joint surface.
Comminuted fractures (bone shattered into multiple pieces).
Open fractures where the bone has pierced the skin.
Fractures that have failed to heal properly with non-surgical treatment (casting).
Fractures associated with dislocation of the wrist joint.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation and review of medications (some may need to be paused).
Pre-operative imaging, including X-rays and often a CT scan, to plan the surgery.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure as instructed.
Arranging for transportation home and assistance during the initial recovery period.
Discussion with the anesthesiologist to determine the best anesthesia option (regional or general).

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site.
Bleeding, bruising, or nerve injury causing numbness or tingling.
Stiffness, pain, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Hardware irritation, prominence, or failure, potentially requiring a second surgery.
Non-union (bone fails to heal) or malunion (bone heals in a poor position).
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) or adverse reaction to anesthesia.

Recovery & hospital stay

Wrist will be placed in a splint or cast for 1-2 weeks post-surgery, followed by a removable brace.
Elevation and ice application are crucial for the first few days to manage swelling.
Pain is managed with prescribed medications.
Hand therapy with a physiotherapist is essential, starting with gentle finger movements and progressing to wrist exercises.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 6-8 weeks or as advised by the surgeon.
Follow-up appointments for wound checks, suture removal, and X-rays to monitor healing.

Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for basic function, 6-12 months for full strength and motion
