Search for: [Abstract = "1. Distal radius fractures are connected with premature mortality. Men have higher mortality compared with women following distal radius fracture in population aged 50 years or above. 2. Extra articular fractures classified as AO type A or Frykman type I may be predictors of higher mortality in distal radius fracture population aged 50 years or above. 3. Long\-term functional outcomes after distal radius fractures in patients aged 50 years and older are comparable, regardless of the treatment method. Surgical treatment in patients aged less than 50 years is associated with better radiological and functional outcomes. Pain syndrome and arthritis were the most frequently recorded long\-term complications of distal radius fracture. 4. Quality of life in patients with distal radius fracture aged 50 years and above is comparable regardless of treatment method. Surgical treatment of distal radius fractures results in better quality of life in patients less than 50 years old."]
