Distal Radius (Wrist) Fracture Fixation: Restoring Alignment and Hand Function
Distal radius fractures are among the most common upper-limb injuries. Surgical fixation is required when fractures are displaced, unstable, or involve the joint surface.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Orthopaedic surgeon fee: SGD 5,000 – 8,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,600 – 2,600
Implants (plates/screws) and imaging add to total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary fracture fixation
• Hospitalisation or day surgery
• Trauma-related implants
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether implant costs are reimbursed separately or subject to sub-limits.
Conclusion
Accurate wrist alignment preserves long-term hand function. Insurance should support definitive care.
