title: Distal radius fractures in adults.
abstract: Although distal radius fractures are a common injury in the elderly and young adult population, the classification, treatment options, and assessment of outcomes of these fractures remain controversial. Since there is no uniform fracture classification system, it is difficult to compare studies. An evidence-based model of management needs to be developed.
