Abstract:
This tutorial addresses the current lack of standardized protocols for closed reduction and cast immobilization for distal radius fractures in China, along with a high incidence of the complications of these fractures. Based on the 2024 Evidence-Based Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Adult Distal Radius Fractures, it establishes a standardized operational procedure. Using the classic Colles fracture as an example, it provides a comprehensive and step-by-step explanations of the closed reduction and cast immobilization techniques, including detailed descriptions and schematic illustrations covering patient positioning, measurement, reduction maneuvers, cast fabrication, cast application, molding, and assessment.
