Distal radius fractures (DRF) are a common injury, especially in the elderly.
-
Displaced fractures can be reduced by closed reduction through several techniques, two of which are compared in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
-
Closed reduction by finger-trap traction (FTT) seems to offer better correction of radial shortening. Additionally, there may be less pain and fewer complications associated with this technique.
-
Closed reduction by manual traction seems to offer better correction of the dorsal tilt.
-
Further research is needed to fully determine the optimal method of closed reduction.
