title: [Multi-center retrospective analysis of clinical and related sociologic characteristics of postoperative distal radius fracture patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study clinical-related characteristics of sociology of postoperative distal radius fracture patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  A multi-center retrospective research was conducted on the information of the case evaluation and follow-up, including the patients' gender, age, habits, history of chronic diseases, conditions of fracture, length of hospital stay and treatments. The epidemiology data were analyzed with SPSS15.0.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the entire 143 patients, 52 were male (average age: 41), and 91 were female (average age: 61). The different gender and age groups had significant distinction in the characteristics of injury. The length of hospital stay was influenced by the energy of injury.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To reduce the damage or incidence of distal radius fracture, we should avoid falling, strengthen protection awareness, treat internal medicine diseases or osteoporosis and so on. The knowledge of characteristics of sociology and injury of distal radius fracture is beneficial to the prevention and treatment.
