Interventions for Distal Radius Fractures: A Network Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials.

CONCLUSIONS: A network meta-analysis of randomized trials revealed that open reduction and internal fixation with a plate offers the best results for adult patients with a distal radius fracture, in terms of early and sustained functional recovery and a reduction in fracture healing complications. Determining whether one approach to PF or plate design is superior requires further study. PMID: 30431506 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
