Presenting our  experience in the use of combination of Plating and external fixation (Hybrid fixation) in  20   comminuted intraarticular distal radius fracture.Comminuted distal radius intraarticular fracture treated by hybrid fixation have predictable outcome and satisfactory result with good radiological and clinical  outcome.

Main text: We are presenting our  experience in the use of combination of Plating and external fixation (Hybrid fixation) in  20   comminuted intraarticular distal radius fracture.
