We performed a retrospective study of 15 patients with AO/ASIF C3.2 fracture of the distal radius. All patients were treated with arthroscopically assisted reduction of the radiocarpal joint followed by palmar plating with autologous bone graft, with a follow-up evaluation of 24 months. According to the demerit point system of Gartland and Werley, five patients had excellent results and 10 had good results. Grade 1 arthritic changes were found in 10 patients even though with no step-off on radiographs. In the current study, this combined treatment was challenging and useful for AO/ASIF C3.2 fractures.
