Abstract
A series of 75 cases with fracture of the distal radius treated by conservative methods were retrospectively reciewed. Results were evaluated from anatomical and functional standpoints. In 49% of cases there was an articular extension of the fracture, and 23% had an associated fracture of the ulnar styloid process. Satisfactory outcome was achieved in 60% of cases, although there way 37% of cases showing complications during follow-up.
