Distal Radius ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation)

Distal Radius ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Distal radius open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a surgical procedure performed to treat a fractured distal radius, which is the larger bone in the forearm near the wrist. Fractures of the distal radius commonly occur due to falls onto an outstretched hand or traumatic injuries. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the fractured area, realigns the broken pieces of the bone (open reduction), and stabilizes them using metal plates, screws, or pins (internal fixation). This helps to restore proper alignment of the bone fragments, facilitate healing, and prevent long-term complications such as malunion or loss of function. Distal radius ORIF is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia, and recovery involves a period of immobilization followed by physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion in the wrist and hand.
