Distal Radius Fracture
Conditions
Brief summary
Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures in the pediatric population . It accounts for 35% of all pediatric fractures . Although pediatric distal radius fractures can be successfully treated conservatively, reduction losses of 21-39% can be observed in the treatment with a plaster cast . Reduction losses are frequently observed in distal radius diaphyseal metaphyseal junctional (DRDMJ) fractures, primarily due to the limited contact surface of the fracture . There has yet to be a consensus regarding the treatment protocol for DRDMJ fractures . In DRDMJ fractures, surgery is recommended in cases where satisfactory alignment cannot be achieved with closed re-duction and cast immobilization, or there is reduction loss in clinical follow-ups .
