| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Proximal radius of the forearm (DR) frequently sustains fractures. As life expectancy rises, more individuals are at risk for radial fractures because of the rising occurrence of these injuries. The majority of distal radial fractures occur in youngsters, teenagers, and the elderly. Between various age categories, fracture patterns, care, and consequences vary. Reviewing these distinctions, identifying which fracture patterns are emergent, and promptly referring patients for additional therapy are essential for physicians. Objective: To assess the care of distal radial fractures will be discussed in this activity. Methods: We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for information on distal, radial fractures, youngsters, teenagers and the elderly. However, only the most current or comprehensive study from January 1986 to May 2020 was considered. The authors also assessed references from pertinent literature. Documents in languages other than English have been disregarded since there aren't enough resources for translation. Unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations were examples of papers that weren't considered to be serious scientific research. Conclusion: Early Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of distal radius fracture gives a better result. The results of meta-analysis are based on observational studies and, thus, further attention should be directed to studies of good methodological quality. Therefore, multicenter prospective cohort studies are required and will be able to answer these questions with more certainty and a higher level of evidence. | ||||
