Risk stratification for failure of conservative treatment in a cohort of 270 diametaphyseal radius fractures
Conservatively treated DMRFs with severe angulation, tilted fracture lines, and greenstick fractures are more likely to suffer complications. Hence, these fractures should be stabilized with osteosynthesis primarily. The introduced risk prediction tools should be validated prospectively.
