From Mar.2008 to Dec.2009, 37 patients with comminuted fracture of distal radius were treated with external fixator or assisted with Kirschner wire and T-shape locking compression plate (T-LCP) fixation. There were 14 males and 23 females, ranging in age from 30 to 79 years, with an average of 59.1 years. According to AO typing, type C1 was in 3 cases, type C2 was in 11 cases and type C3 was in 23 cases.
