All patients had evident wrist trauma and the diagnosis of DRF was confirmed by imaging tests. A total of 101 patients received bridging external fixation (control group), whereas another 106 received non\u2010bridging external fixation (study group). At 12\u2009weeks after the procedure, the treatment effect was measured using the Dienst scoring system (rating scale: \u22643 points, excellent; 4\u20137 points, good; 8\u201311 points, fair; &gt;12 points, poor), and the wrist joint function was evaluated by Gartland and Werley classification (rating scale: 0\u20132 points, excellent; 3\u20138 points, good; 9\u201320 points, fair; &gt;21 points, poor); meanwhile, the radial length, radial inclination, and palmar tilt were examined by X\u2010ray. Follow\u2010up visits were conducted once every 2\u2009weeks for 6\u2009months, and the incidences of complications in the two groups within 6\u2009months after operation were recorded, including incision infection, Kirschner wire loosening, delayed fracture healing, and arthritis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were no differences in the sex ratio, mean age, mean injury period, Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur osteosynthesefragen classification, and cause of fracture between the two groups (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05).
