Neuromuscular Stimulation in the Distal Radius Fractures
Sponsor: Kirsehir Ahi Evran Universitesi
Summary
Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are fractures affecting the wrist and occurring in the distal portion of the radius bone. DRFs can also be classified as Colles, Barton, Smith, and Hutchinson/Chauffeur fractures according to the characteristics of the fracture. The incidence of these fractures shows a bimodal distribution. In young adults, distal radius fractures occur more often as a result of high-energy traumas (e.g., traffic accidents or impacts during contact sports), while in older adults, especially during winter months, low-energy falls from standing height (falling onto an outstretched hand) are a more common cause.
