Résumé
Distal radius fractures are common in the geriatric population; however, treatment of these fractures remains controversial. Patients undergoing operative fixation may experience a quicker recovery with increased grip strength, which is beneficial in the active geriatric patient. Treatment options include fragment-specific fixation, volar locked plating, and dorsal bridge plating. External fixation alone leads to poor outcomes and is indicated in patients with soft tissue compromise or as a supplemental aid. Implant selection should be tailored to fracture parameters. With a thoughtful surgical algorithm and rehabilitation protocol, good outcomes can be achieved with a high rate of patient satisfaction.
