Abstract
Distal radius fractures are very common orthopaedic injuries, accounting for approximately 20% of all fractures. The most common mechanism of injury is usually a fall onto an outstretched hand. Non-operative treatments include splint or cast immobilization with or without closed reduction (bone setting). Operative treatments include percutaneous pinning, external fixation, and volar or dorsal plating. Both non-operative and operative treatments can be successful depending on their application in the right situations. Although not common, complications can occur with any treatment modality.
