Abstract
Fracture healing and surgical decision making are not always predictable. The suggested protocols are intended to be flexible rather than rigid to be responsive to patient progress and the fracture site stability. A methodologic approach to the rehabilitation following a distal radius fracture, based on a knowledge of the biology of fracture healing and biomechanics of fixation, may preempt some of the pitfalls associated with distal radius fracture healing.
