Materials and Methods: The present study includes 40 cases of distal radius fractures who were operated with external fixation in Basaveshwar Hospital Kalaburagi between Jan 2017 to Dec 2018. Ethical clearance was taken from the ethical committee of the institution and Informed consent were taken from the patients. Frykman’s classification was used for the classification of fractures being treated and patients final outcome was measured by Gartland and Werley’s Score (demerit system).

Results: The present study includes 40 patients, 24 were male and 16 were female. The mean patient age was 35 years (22yrs-50yrs). Left hand was involved in 24 patients and right hand in 16 patients. The mechanism of injury was road traffic accident in majority. Most of the patients were operated within 3-4 days of injury. 12 patients with high impact type injuries had associated fractures. Most of fractures were of Type III, IV, and V of Frykman’s classification of fractures. End Results according to Demerit point system of Gartland and Werley’s among 40 patients treated with External fixation were Excellent in 20 patients, Good in 12 patients, Fair in 7 patients, and Poor in 1 patient.

Conclusion: External fixation provides good to excellent results in distal radius fractures and are found to be effective in the correction and maintenance of distal radius anatomy.
