To evaluate the effect of conservative treatment on stability of different types of distal radius fracture so as to help select the optimal treatment of different distal radius fracture and verify the exact time when the patient need careful.
During the period of one year 103 consecutive patients of distal radius fracture were treated by closed reduction and below-elbow cast immobilization and standard PA in the emergency room and were followed up 1, 2, and 4 weeks after the initial visit until the casts were removed. Lateral radiographic examination was conducted before and after reduction and during the reexamination. All the images were saved in a working server in hospital. The patients were classified according to the Cooney classification system, then the displacement, palmar tilt, radial inclination and radial shortening in every film were measured accurately and involvement of radiocarpal joint surface was noted. Combined with the assessment by the Lindstrom grading system, the radiographic results we
