Aim. Up to 34% of fractures of the distal radius in children can ‘re-displace’ early after reduction. Main risk factors are initial displacement (bayonet apposition, > 50% translation, and > 30°angulation), isolated
Background. Implants based on the polyetheretherketon (PEEK) polymer have been developed in the last decade as an alternative to conventional metallic devices. PEEK devices may provide several advantages over the use of conventional orthopedic materials, including the lack of metal allergies, radiolucency, low artifacts on magnetic resonance imaging scans and the possibility of tailoring mechanical properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results at mean 24-month follow-up using a new plate made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketon (CFR-PEEK) for the treatment of
