Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria is those patients who diagnosed as distal radius fracture by X-ray, and considered appropriate for conservative treatment.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria are follows; 1. Those who cannot make an agreement spontaneously. 2. Those who are unable to make an agreement under written document. 3. Those who did not need any reduction and treated using under elbow fixation. 4. Those who cannot treat conservatively using splint fixation due to compartment syndrome or other similar situations. 5. Those who injured bilateral distal radius at the same time, or those who has disability on unaffected side such as paralysis. 6. Those who has medical history of distal radius fractures. 7. Those who has medical history of any disease involving bone deformity such as rheumatoid arthritis. 8. Those who considered as surgical indication at the first visit. 9. Those who considered not appropriate for the study by the doctors.

| The primary outcome of this study is the change in X-ray parameters of the distal radius (volar tilt, radial inclination, ulnar variance) from between the time of injury to just after the closed reduction; a week , two weeks, three weeks and six weeks after the reduction; 3 months, 6 months and a year after the reduction. | — |
