• ABSTRACT
    • Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures seen in orthopaedics. These fractures may be treated surgically or conservatively depending on patient-related and radiographic factors. Displaced fractures should be reduced in the acute setting to better align the fracture fragments and a splint applied to hold the fracture in this position. Fractures that are acceptably reduced may be treated conservatively with casting and close radiographic follow-up to ensure maintained alignment. In this video, we describe our technique for closed reduction of distal radius fractures and review important factors that guide treatment.
