More and more distal fractures of the radius are treated surgically, thereby decreasing the treatment time and quickly restoring use of the arm. The rarely seen compound fractures of the radius and those involving circulation problems or loss of feeling in the hand will be treated as emergency cases. The most frequently used treatment is osteosynthesis using pins.
