title: [Variable treatment of distal radius fractures. Results of a prospective study].
abstract: The paper presents a new strategy for treatment of distal radius fractures. The strategy is based on a prognosis-related classification model from which an appropriate treatment strategy is derived. Between 1 January 1987 and 31 December 1988, a series of 205 patients with a total of 207 fractures were treated. An average of 12 months after the accidents 198 persons (96.6%) with 200 fractures were re-examined. Wrist function was good or excellent in 83.5%, fair in 15.5% and poor in 1% of the patients studied.
