The patient and surgeon are aware of the type of surgery performed. N/A distal radius fracture. Intervention 1: Intervention group: distal radius fracture that underwent external fixator insertion, It is a well-known surgical treatment for distal radius articular surface fractures. Two distal and two proximal pin screws are placed at the fracture site and connected to each other with the help of two rods. Intervention 2: Intervention group: distal radius fracture that underwent dorsal bridge plate insertion, A method introduced for comminuted fractures of the distal radius that uses a long plate posterior to the fracture site, which bridges the fracture site and is fixed on both sides with screws.
