Distal radius bone fracture
Hello,
I recently sustained a distal radius bone fracture and am trying to determine if I need surgery and bone grafting. Could any doctors or knowledgeable individuals advise on this?
Additionally, if surgery is required, what are the advantages of using imported titanium implants over Indian-made ones?
Thank you!
