A Qualitative Study Assessing Information on the Internet Compared With AAOS Guidelines for the Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures.

The goal of this study was to compare information available on the Internet about the treatment of distal radius fractures with the guidelines established by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) in a qualitative observational study. A scoring system was used to compare the top 20 websites, excluding advertisements, from Google, Bing, and Yahoo with the AAOS guidelines. In addition, the results of the advertising content and the social media content were discussed.

The total distal radioulnar joint is a solution to those cases with absence of the sigmoid notch, poor soft tissue, or too much ulnar bone resected.
