Abstract: Distal radius fractures account for up to 20% of all fractures treated in emergency departments. Initial assessment includes taking a detailed history, identifying the mechanism of injury, evaluating associated trauma, and performing appropriate radiographic studies. Treatment options range from conservative management to surgical interventions, including internal fixation with Kirschner wires, bridge and non-bridge external fixation, and osteosynthesis using dorsal or volar plates, with or without arthroscopic assistance. Nevertheless, many aspects of the management of these fractures remain unclear, highlighting the need for high-quality, prospective, randomized clinical trials.
