This study reviewed 19 patients with intra-articular fractures of the distal end ofthe radius treated with augmented external fixation and injectable calcium phosphate (Norian SRS; Norian Corp, Cupertino, Calif) between November 1997 and July 2000. Average patient age was 52 years, and average follow-up was 16.3 months. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically using the modified Mayo Wrist Score and Knirk and Jupiter's criteria, respectively. Overall results are comparable to those from other studies of intra-articular distal radius fractures in which other grafts have been used.
