Distal Radius Fractures
Dr. Trumble has conducted an animal study on the effects of intra-articular stepoff (see eRadius for a representative histology slide), which has yielded insights on the 1986 Knirk and Jupiter paper. He has also conducted clinical studies on the effects of stepoff and gap. He will bring us up to date on his research and how these studies have affected his clinical management of distal radius fractures.
The location will be the Bellvue Club, 525 Bellvue Avenue, Oakland, 94612. (You can get a map from MapQuest: just enter the address of the club).
