Purpose The best treatment of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in the elderly is uncertain. The
purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical …

Background Fracture of the distal radius ('broken wrist') is a common clinical problem. It can
be treated conservatively, usually involving wrist immobilisation in a plaster cast, or …

Background The aim of this study was to determine whether surgical treatment is more
effective than conservative treatment in terms of functional outcomes in elderly patients with …

Distal radius fractures are a common injury, particularly in the elderly population. Severity of
these fractures is directly related to the bone mineral density of the patient, and clinical …

We found no clear evidence of the clinical superiority of distal radius fracture surgery among
older adults at one year. Surgical treatment, however, may yield a faster recovery to previous …

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether there was a difference in complication rates in our patients
treated with external fixation versus volar plating of distal radius fractures. We also looked for …

Pin track-associated complications are almost universal findings with the use of external
fixation. These complications are catastrophic if it leads to the failure of the bone–pin …
