Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine if non-operative treatment of distal radius fractures in patients aged 65 and over leads to equal funtional results as operative treatment. To do so patients will be included from two "schools" in which treatment i seither predominantly operative or non-operative. There will be no study intervention as patients will be treated as per local standard of care. The study is set up as an international multicenter study. Those patients included in the study will be follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 1 year and 2 years after treatment was initiated. Our hypothesis is, that patients treated operatively will have better function than those treated non-operatively.
