"Most patients with a distal radial fracture present following a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH). They are in pain and have a reduced range of motion. There may be an associated deformity and, in severe cases, distal neurovascular compromise."
"Trauma is almost always the cause of distal radial fractures and is often the result of a FOOSH."
"Fractures with significant displacement require manipulation (under sedation or anaesthetic). A small number will require internal fixation (e.g. with a volar locking plate) following manipulation. Operative management may include CRIF, ORIF, bridge plating or external fixation."
