Results with four different external fixation frames were analyzed in a consecutive series of 100 unstable distal radial fractures of the Colles type. Overall, the numbers of good to excellent results, range of motion, and incidence of complications were similar for each group. Quadrilateral frame fixation of unstable distal radial fractures provides effective immobilization and produces good to excellent results in 86% of patients.
