Distal radius fractures in the elderly population

We found no clear evidence of the clinical superiority of distal radius fracture surgery among older adults at one year. Surgical treatment, however, may yield a faster recovery to previous level of activity in elderly patients. With operative treatment, hardware-based problems may warrant secondary...

description We found no clear evidence of the clinical superiority of distal radius fracture surgery among older adults at one year. Surgical treatment, however, may yield a faster recovery to previous level of activity in elderly patients. With operative treatment, hardware-based problems may warrant secondary operations and implant removal, whereas in non-operative treatment, symptomatic loss of alignment and malunion can occur. In elderly patients, non-operative treatment can be considered to be the gold standard. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2020;5:361-370. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.5.190060
