Article Synopsis
- Patients over 75 years old with distal radius fractures were analyzed to compare the short-term outcomes of surgical versus non-operative treatment, as previous data mainly focused on those over 65.
- The study included 74 patients, with 24 undergoing surgery and 50 receiving non-operative care, using assessments like range of motion, strength, and patient-reported outcomes to evaluate effectiveness.
- Results showed that surgery led to significantly better clinical outcomes at both 1.5 and 6 months, particularly in patients with displaced fractures, indicating that surgical intervention may be more beneficial for this older demographic.
