Fractures of the distal radial metaepiphysis are often complicated by forearm and hand dystrophy. One of the most important factors predisposing to its development is unresolved displacement of radial bone fragments. We observed 18 patients with irregularly healed fracture of the distal radial metaepiphysis complicated by posttraumatic neurodystrophic syndrome (phase II, III). There were 17 women and 1 man among them. The average age of the patients was 58.4 years.
