| Popis: | Distal radial fractures are common, and many methods of treatment have been reported but there are no studies that compare the different treatment methods. This randomized prospective study demonstrated no advantage in using an external fixator to immobilize reduced distal radial fractures over closed reduction and plaster cast immobilization in patients less than 60 years of age. The external fixator group had a significant complication rate. |
