[Pseudarthrosis after fracture of the distal radius: a case report].

We report on a seventy-year-old woman who developed a non-union of the distal radius with infection of the ulnocarpal joint after having sustained a fracture. The fistula, the distal ulna and the ulnocarpal joint were resected. Two months later we removed the non-union and carried out open reduction and internal fixation of the radius with a palmar plate. Good functional and cosmetic results were achieved.
