Recommended procedure  radius fracture

2024-07-21 16:23:19
I had surgery with a titanium implant on my left distal radius in 2017, which was removed in 2021. I recently fractured the same bone on July 18, 2024. One doctor recommended an ORIF procedure, while another suggested ORIF with bone grafting. What is the best course of action?
