Abstract: Distal radius fractures are a common type of fracture disease in clinical practice. In recent years, they have become a frequently occurring fracture disease of the upper limb, accounting for approximately 5% of all fractures in the body and about 10% of all upper limb fractures [1]. With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the impact of fractures on People's Daily work and life is increasing day by day. The early recovery of functions and the reduction of trauma after fractures have also become the focus of everyone's attention. So finding a more convenient, efficient and economical treatment method has also become the ultimate goal. In our traditional Chinese medicine, the small splints used in orthopedic treatment for external fixation of fractures are the key treatment directions [2]. The small splint is one of the widely used orthopedic treatment techniques in folk medicine. It can play a positive therapeutic role in fractures or soft tissue injuries, and has a certain role in maintaining alignment and reduction.
