he purpose of the research is to create the effective system of diagnosis and treatment of patients with distal radius metaepiphysis fractures to achieve as quick and complete recovery of functions of a damaged upper limb as possible. The research is of clinical and radiological character and is based on the study of the influence of 7 known and 2 newly suggested instability criteria of the fracture on clinical and X-ray parameters of the wrist with improperly fused distal radius meta-epiphysis fractures of 129 patients. There has been developed a diagnostic algorithm that takes into account the instability criteria (with varying degrees of influence on clinical and X-ray parameters of the wrist joint) and allows to determine the optimal treatment of patients of this profile.
Keywords: distal radius fracture, nstability criteria, clinical and X-ray parameters
