Abstract
An unstable distal radius fracture is one that is not capable of resisting displacement after initial closed reduction. The challenge in managing distal radius fractures is identifying which fractures are prone to displacement. Currently, there are no standard criteria for assessing the stability of distal radius fractures. The fracture pattern and patient characteristics should be taken into consideration when treating distal radius fractures. This article discusses how to recognize and manage distal radius fractures that are prone to displacement.
