Abstract
Background: Fractures of distal radius are predominantly high energy fractures with bimodal presentation. Since prevention of such fractures is almost impossible, it is important to evaluate the risk assessment, so as to enable prediction of functional outcomes with these fractures. The present study was carried out to assess the pattern of presentation of distal radius fractures. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out among 50 patients admitted for surgical management of distal radius fractures. The anatomical scoring of the fractures was done using AO and Frykman classification. All the participants were surgically treated with either open reduction and internal fixation with plating or closed reduction. Results: Most of the participants underwent Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plating (36%). Based on the anatomical scoring, majority of the participants were categorized as excellent (90%) while 14% were categorized as good. Younger age and road traffic accidents demonstrated excellent scores compared to other risk factors (p
