ABSTRACT
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common orthopedic injuries. After history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging, treatment begins with closed reduction and immobilization to restore an upper extremity that has both acceptable alignment and stability. Whether for definitive nonoperative management or in preparation for surgical fixation, it is important to understand the principles of closed reduction and immobilization. This article presents a brief review of indications and a technical guide to successful closed reduction and casting for the orthopedic surgeon.
