Abstract :
Background: Fractures of the distal radius are very common injuries, estimated to account for upto one sixth of all fractures.
Material and methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences, Tadong, Gangtok, over a period of 18 months from December 2015 to June 2017.
