[Results of conservative treatment of distal radius fractures]

The results of conservative treatment of fractures of the distal radius in 303 patients over a period of two years are demonstrated. 226 patients could be followed-up. The healing of the fracture was satisfactory in 78%, while the results regarding the various age groups showed considerable differences.
