Recommended procedure radius fracture
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?

Kindly share old operated X-ray, just looking at this X-ray a simple ORIF with plating is enough

It’s Intra op decision and follow advice of your opdrating surgeon rather than taking advice of others.
