Abstract

The Study aimed to assess the functional and radiological results of intra articular distal radius fractures managed with open reduction and internal fixation with plate osteosynthesis versus below elbow casting by closed manipulation. Distal radius fractures are among the most common injuries to the musculoskeletal system of human beings, which are managed both conservatively and surgically. There are pitfalls, advantages and disadvantages in each method. The individual fracture analysis determines the therapeutic options. In our series of 40 patients, 25 were male and 15 were female. Most of the patients were between 20‐30 years. ( minimum age of 20 to maximum 70 and mean age of 38.62 years. The most common mode of injury, wrist involvement and fracture type were RTA (45%) and right side (52.5%), respectively. Excellent results were seen in 45% in the surgical group and 30% in the conservative group. This study concluded that surgical management is better than conservative in treating comminuted and displaced intra‐articular fractures of the distal radius. Therefore, we cannot infer one treatment method for all fracture patterns and treatment should be individualized to a particular fracture pattern.
