Fractures of the distal radius can be treated with below-elbow or above-elbow casts, however below-elbow casts may be associated with better radiological outcomes, based on results of a prospective ...

Children with distal radius fractures face some of the same complications as adults, including malunion, compartment syndrome and acute carpal tunnel syndrome, but these complications are much rarer.

The duration of immobilization of distal radius fractures depends on whether these fractures can displace into an unacceptable position. Most radial fractures are liable to displace within the first ...

Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius (IFDR) represent high energy, complex, unstable injuries, and account for approximately one-sixth of the fractures observed in emergency rooms. 1,2 The ...

Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common of musculoskeletal injuries; they occur at a rate of approximately 2 such injuries per 1000 individuals per year. As with most fractures, there ...

What is Distal Radius Fracture? The larger of the two bones of the forearm is known as radius. The end of the arm towards the wrist is called the distal end. When the area of the radius near the wrist ...

Background: Minimally angulated fractures of the distal radius are common in children and have excellent outcomes. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the use of a ...

Image guidance in the reduction of displaced distal radius fractures:- For patients with displaced fractures of the distal radius, is manipulation with real-time image guidance more clinically and ...

Evidence from randomized controlled trials shows that children with this type of injury who are given a removable splint have better physical function, less difficulty with daily activities and a ...

What is a Colles’ Fracture? A Colles' fracture -- or distal radius fracture -- is often called a ''broken wrist.'' In France it’s sometimes called a “Pouteau-Colles” fracture. Technically, it's a ...
