Fractures of the distal forearm in the Helsinki district
Abstract:
The incidence and some epidemiological features of fractures of the distal forearm in the Finnish population are described. An annual incidence of 36.5 per 10 000 was calculated for the population over 15 years of age. The incidence seems to vary within wide limits according to the season, and the patient's age and sex. The highest numbers were noted in women of 60-70 years of age. However, these marked differences in incidence are less evident in cases treated as in-patients. The figures do not differ much from those for Oslo, but are higher than those for Sweden or Great Britain.

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...
