Distal radius fractures are commonly treated by orthopaedic surgeons. These fractures can be treated in a variety of methods, but the options for repairing can be limited in patients with high-energy fracture patterns. To evaluate the efficacy of dorsal spanning plate in distal radial fracture fixation, at Sohag University Hospital's Orthopedics & Traumatology Department, 15 patients were included in a cross-section study from April 2020 to April 2021. As regard the modified mayo score. The mean score was 56.1 ± 13.4. There were 4 (26.7%) cases with excellent score, 9 (60%) cases with good score and 2 (13.3%) cases with fair score. As regard the range of motion. The mean flexion was 50.2 ± 5.8, the mean extension was 46.5 ± 4.3, the mean pronation was 70.3 ± 6.1, the mean supination was 71.6 ± 5.7, the mean ulnar deviation was 20.4 ± 2.1. The mean radial deviation was 16.2 ± 2.5. The mean radial height was 8.4 ± 1.9 and the mean radial tilt was 17.2 ± 2.4.reduction.Dorsal spanning plate fixation is an excellent alternative surgical option for management of high energy distal radius fractures in the setting of multi-trauma. It can also provide the benefit of early mobilization of the patient by allowing the use of the injured hand and upper extremity for weight-bearing and activities of daily living in the case of concomitant injuries
