Summary: In pediatric distal radius fractures in Sweden, complete fractures occur more frequently in girls, while boys are more likely to receive Kirschner wire fixation. Further research is needed to determine the need for Kirschner wire fixation in pediatric distal radius fractures.

Summary: Distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures in emergency units, requiring significant healthcare resources. A study conducted in Finland found that DRFs are most common among pediatric and elderly women, with a notable difference in incidence between genders. The rate of operative treatment for DRFs appears to have plateaued during the study period.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the incidence and treatment of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in the adult population. It found a 31% increase in DRFs over a 22-year period, mainly driven by an increase in the size of the elderly population. Interestingly, even in the elderly group, the surgical rate increased significantly. Therefore, hospitals need to re-evaluate their treatment strategies.

Summary: This study investigated injury characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of distal radius fractures in superelderly patients using data from the Swedish Fracture Register. The majority of patients in this group were female, with most fractures resulting from a simple fall at home. Treatment mainly involved casting, with volar locking plates being the second most common method. Self-reported outcome measures showed some deterioration one year after injury, with no correlation to treatment type.

Summary: The incidence of distal radius fractures in children aged 0-17 in Sweden was higher among males compared to females. There was a decreasing trend in total fracture incidence during the study period, but further studies are needed to determine if this trend will continue.

Summary: Bipolar fractures involving distal radius and radial head are rare injuries that require consideration of both wrist and elbow. Treatment options vary depending on the specific case, with surgical intervention or conservative treatment being viable options. Preserving radial length during surgery is important for optimizing patient outcomes.

Summary: Recent guidelines recommend non-operative treatment for displaced distal radius fractures in elderly patients. In this study, closed reduction and casting were evaluated, and most patients showed improved alignment at final follow-up. An aligned volar cortex seemed to protect against loss of radial length.

Summary: A wearable rehabilitation training wristband was developed to recognize four common wrist rehabilitation actions in real-time using three thin film pressure sensors. An algorithmic framework was proposed for classifying the action signals, achieving high recognition accuracy, recall, and f1 score. The developed device has the advantages of being small size and easy to wear, and can be combined with other technologies to build different rehabilitation training scenarios.

Summary: This study investigates whether a capitate shift threshold of -5.98 mm is associated with the failure of non-operatively managed distal radius fractures (DRFs) and should be used as a threshold for primary surgical intervention.

Summary: This study investigated the trends in treatment choice of pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures over a 20-year period. The results showed an increase in the use of invasive treatment, with IMN becoming the predominant surgical choice.

Summary: Ulnar head subluxation/dislocation is rare in distal radius fractures, but can usually be effectively treated with operative stabilization without further procedures. Functional outcomes and fracture healing are excellent postoperatively.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the incidence of UE-VTE after distal radius fractures and identify medical factors that increased the risk. Out of 24,494 patients, 79 cases of UE-VTE and 19 cases of pulmonary embolism were identified. Coexisting heart failure and estrogen use were found to be associated with an increased risk of UE-VTE.

Summary: The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has developed Appropriate Use Criteria for the Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures based on evidence-based information and clinical expertise. The criteria consist of 2,160 patient scenarios and 9 treatments which were evaluated for appropriateness by a voting panel. The criteria help determine the appropriate treatment for patients with distal radius fractures.

Summary: The study found that older adults treated with volar plating for distal radius fracture had better DASH scores and improved grip strengths. However, the improvement in DASH scores may not be clinically significant. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in pain scores, range of motion, and complication rates between the two treatment modalities. More trials with larger sample sizes are needed for more robust evidence.
