Summary

Distal radius fractures, particularly in elderly individuals, are a common problem associated with increasing age and hormonal changes. The choice of treatment, such as cast immobilization or percutaneous pinning, plays a crucial role in achieving optimal functional outcomes and facilitating a return to normal activities. This study aimed to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of cast immobilization and percutaneous pinning in elderly patients with distal radius fractures.
