Abstract
The paper reports a clinical case of an extremely rare complication of surgical treatment of distal radius fractures — false joint of distal radius after minimally invasive osteosynthesis and its successful management.
Keywords: false joint, minimally invasive approach, distal radius, osteosynthesis, computed tomography.
