AbstractThere has been a surge in the operative management of distal radius fractures. Closed reduction, external fixation, and open reduction with internal fixation each have advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this review is not to provide the clinician with an algorithm for treatment of distal radius fractures. These fractures span an extensive spectrum of severity across age groups and demographics. Fortunately, the surgeon holds a vast array of options to provide care for patients with distal radius fractures. The choice of fixation or conservative care resides in the personality of the fracture and the needs of the patients.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
