Distal Radius Extra-Articular Fractures: The Impact of Anatomical Alignment on Patient's Perceived Outcome (A Single Center Experience).

Purpose: The effects of the anatomical alignment of distal radial extra-articular fractures on the patient's perceived outcome have been drawing much attention recently, and much controversy exists in the literature. The primary purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the radiological parameters of reduction (radial inclination, radial length, and radial tilt) and the patient's perceived functional outcome, which was quantified using the DASH questionnaire.

Methods: The study included one hundred twenty-four patients with distal radial extra-articular fractures managed by closed reduction and casting.

Management of pediatric blunt abdominal trauma with split liver or spleen injuries: a retrospective study.
