				<title>ABSTRACT</title>
				<p>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;Background: There are various treatment of distal radius fracture each its own merits and demerits. Most of the work done with percutaneous pinning has shown a significant residual stiffness of the hand and wrist. Our technique involves percutaneous pinning of the fracture and immobilization with external fixator in neutral position of the wrist for 6-8 weeks. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of 29 patients aged between 18 to70 years. The functional evaluation of the patients was done at 6 months follow-up using Sarmiento&amp;#8216;s modification of Lindstrom criteria and Gartland and Werley&amp;#8216;s criteria for evaluation of results. Results: Excellent to good results were seen in 88% of the cases while 13% had fair results. The complications observed were pin loosening, pin tract infection, malunion, wrist joint stiffness. Conclusion: Percutaneous pinning and external fixator of the wrist in neutral position is a simple, effective and quick method to maintain reduction and prevent stiffness and residual deformity of wrist.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</p>
