Summary

Through this study we aim to investigate the rate of DRFs initially treated with successful closed reduction (to an acceptable position, then immobilized in a plaster cast), that re-displace and end up requiring surgery.

This study will clarify the incidence of DRFs where surgical intervention could potentially be avoided if the initial closed reduction lasted until sufficient bone healing was attained. As DRFs are the most common fracture of the adult population treated in the Danish emergency departments, the aim of this study is to examine the amount of people with DRFs that could potentially avoid surgery and thereby lowering the cost to the health care system, as well as save the patient invasive surgery. Furthermore, we expect to classify which specific types of fractures according to Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/ Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification system have a high or low incidence of secondary surgery after primary closed reduction.
