Abstract
Background: Distal radius fractures significantly affect patient outcomes, influenced by demographics and injury mechanisms. This study evaluates the impact of age, gender, and injury mechanism on the outcomes of distal radius fractures treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) versus Colles’ cast application (CRCI). Methods: A prospective, randomized comparative study was conducted with 80 patients at Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital. Participants were divided into two treatment groups (CRPP vs. CRCI) and assessed for functional and radiological outcomes using established scoring systems. Results: Age and gender distributions showed varied susceptibility to fracture types and outcomes between treatment modalities. The mode of injury significantly influenced the choice of treatment and its effectiveness, with CRPP showing better outcomes in high-energy trauma cases. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of considering age, gender, and injury mechanism in choosing between CRPP and CRCI for managing distal radius fractures, with CRPP often leading to better outcomes in cases of high-energy trauma.
