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 ...

Study population: adult (>18 years) (independent in activities of daily living) patients with a non/minimal displaced distal radius fracture (dorsal angulation <15°, volar tilt <20°, radial ...

ABSTRACT Fixed angle fixation permits early function after distal radius fractures. A treatment method that provides the benefits of this fixation type through a minimally invasive approach is ...

A distal radial fracture usually occurs as a result of a fall. For example, a fall may cause someone to land on his or her outstretched hands, breaking the larger of the two bones in the forearm ...

Bryan Brown, MD, and colleagues randomly assigned patients with isolated, closed, neurovascularly intact, displaced distal radius fractures to undergo either reduction (n=6) or nonreduction/in ...

[5,6] Most patients had minimally displaced distal radial fractures. Both trials found no significant differences in either anatomical or functional outcomes after 9 months [ 5 ] and one year [ 6 ...
