Abstract

Background: Distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures in adults, predominantly in white and older populations in high income countries.  Patient usually reports falling on outstretched hand (FOSH). Other mechanisms include: RTA (road traffic accident), direct trauma, and FFH (fall from height). Specific mechanisms imply greater or lesser degrees of injury. After (FOSH) the prominent thenar eminence takes most of the force, and the fracture of the distal end radius occurs, while the TFCC is still intact, unless there is a rotatory element. If radius rotates into supination and if the force continues the ulnar styloid is avulsed There are numerous treatment modalities available to orthopedic surgeons for distal radius fracture; these include closed reduction and casting, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning.
