Synopsis
Five hundred patients with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures requiring closed manipulation were randomized to receive either surgical fixation with Kirschner wires (n=245) or treatment with a moulded cast (n=255). The primary outcome of interest was dorsal angulation on radiographs at six weeks post-manipulation. Secondary outcomes included radial shortening (ulnar variance), and patient-...
