Evaluation of Risk Factors for Loss of Acceptable Alignment for Distal Radius Fractures That Are Nondisplaced or Minimally Displaced on Initial Presentation
Numerous studies have evaluated risk factors for loss of acceptable radiographic alignment, as described by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG), following closed reduction of distal radius fractures (DRFs). Less is known about DRFs that are well aligned on initial presentation and do not require closed reduction. We evaluated the rate of and risk factors for displacement of DRFs that are nondisplaced or minimally displaced on initial presentation.
