Brief summary

Anterior plate osteosynthesis of fractures of the lower extremity of the radius may be accompanied by tendinous complications : tenosynovitis of extensors or even tendon ruptures caused by the end of the epiphyseai screws. The intraoperative measurements as well as the realization of the scopic pictures make it possible to estimate the length of the screws but the tendinous lesions remain frequent (5 to 15% according to the various series)

Detailed description

* Preoperative consultation * Oral information of the patient of the protocol and delivery of the written information note * Seeking patient's non-opposition to participating in the study * Inclusion of the patient * Surgical procedure for distal radius fracture + immediate post-operative radiography * Intervention performed according to the usual practices of the service by the surgeon of the day without randomization * Radiography: 2 shots: face and wrist profile * Control X-ray + consultation * Achieved at 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months after the intervention * X-rays: 2 shots: face and wrist profile * Control ultrasound o Realized at 3 months after the intervention End of participation in the study after consultation of 3 months.
