[Fractures of the distal end of the radius.]
Abstract:
The authors evaluate in a group of 92 patients the results of conservative treatment of fractures of the distal radius. They draw attention to terminological inaccuracies in the evaluation of these fractures. This leads to a relatively high percentage of poor results in their patients, though their results are comparable with those of other authors. As a guideline for treatment they suggest the AO classification and on its basis they propose a more active approach to the treatment of these fractures. Key words: fracture of the distal end of the radius, reposition, redislocation.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
