| Summary | The study examines whether there are radiological criteria that can give an indication if a dorsally displaced distal radius fracture remains stable without the needs for surgery after closed reduction in patients between 18 and 65 years of age. |
| Who can participate | Inclusion criterias: * 18-65 years old, living in Oslo/surroundings (available for follow-up) * AO class A2/3 or C1/C2 fractures * Dorsally displaced fracture of the distal radius (minimum VLDV more than100 or ulnar variance more than 2 mm compared to healthy side before reduction) with or without PSU fracture * Reduced to an acceptable position (VLDV 75-95 degrees, RIV more than 15 degrees, ulnar variance more than 2 mm, step/diastasis in the joint surface less than 2 mm) Exclution criterias: * Volar comminution (AO A3.3), step/diastasis more than 2 mm before reduction * Ad latus more than 2 cortex widths after reduction * Bilateral fractures * Open fractures * Previous wrist fracture in adulthood * Still open growth disc on X-ray * Antebrachium or carpal fracture * Ligament damage in the |
