Abstract

Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are among the most frequent injuries in older adults, especially those with osteoporosis. In India, these fractures are becoming more common due to longer life spans, changing lifestyles, and increasing rates of undiagnosed osteoporosis.

Objective: To explore the growing burden of osteoporotic DRFs and evaluate current approaches to their management, focusing on both non-surgical and surgical strategies tailored for the aging population.

Methods: This review brings together recent research and clinical insights on the causes, challenges, and treatments of osteoporotic DRFs. It covers conservative care, surgical options like volar locking plates and external fixators, and newer techniques such as bone grafting, augmentation, and hemiarthroplasty.

Results: This review brings together recent research and clinical insights on the causes, challenges, and treatments of osteoporotic DRFs. It covers conservative care, surgical options like volar locking plates and external fixators, and newer techniques such as bone grafting, augmentation, and hemiarthroplasty.

Conclusion: Managing osteoporotic DRFs requires a personalized approach that balances bone quality, fracture type, and patient needs. Early diagnosis of osteoporosis and appropriate treatment choices can significantly improve healing, function, and overall quality of life.

骨质疏松性桡骨远端骨折：外科护理。

背景：桡骨远端骨折（DRFs）是老年人最常见的损伤之一，尤其是骨质疏松症患者。在印度，由于寿命延长、生活方式改变以及未确诊骨质疏松症的发病率上升，这些骨折变得越来越常见。目的：探讨骨质疏松性DRFs日益增加的负担，并评估其目前的管理方法，重点关注针对老龄化人口的非手术和手术策略。方法：本文综述了最近关于骨质疏松性DRFs的原因、挑战和治疗的研究和临床见解。它涵盖了保守护理，手术选择，如掌侧锁定钢板和外固定架，以及新技术，如植骨，增强和半关节置换术。结果：这篇综述汇集了最近关于骨质疏松性DRFs的原因、挑战和治疗的研究和临床见解。它涵盖了保守护理，手术选择，如掌侧锁定钢板和外固定架，以及新技术，如植骨，增强和半关节置换术。结论：治疗骨质疏松性DRFs需要一种个性化的方法，平衡骨质量、骨折类型和患者需求。骨质疏松症的早期诊断和适当的治疗选择可以显著改善愈合、功能和整体生活质量。
