 +> "The incidence of distal radius fracture in the adult population is significantly less than in other age groups. As a result of this lower incidence and apparently random occurrence of fracture in this lower risk group, little data is available on this population regarding epidemiology of these injuries" [[jnl:nellans2012]]
 +
 +> "Although the pediatric and elderly population are at the greatest risk for this injury, distal radius fracture still have significant importance on the health and well being of young patients"
 +
 +[[jnl:tsai2011]]: while age specific increase important, young adults still make up large proportion of cases.

 +
 +> It is known that distal radius fracture in patients of the non-osteoporotic age usually result from high energy trauma and often having intra-articular involvement. Furthermore, they are associated with a higher incidence of cartilage, inter-carpal ligament and TFCC lesions.

 +  * Randomization by date
 +  * Inc: isolated DR fractures not requiring M&R - cast 6/52 vs Futuro 6/52
 +  * Outcome: VAS Sarmiento (no scores given)
 +    * Functional assess @ 6 & 12 weeks
 +  * Results
 +    * Similar pain
 +    * better cast satisfaction (2 point difference)
 +    * decreased complication in splinting (1-2 point difference)
 +    * splint faster mobility
 +    * function @ 6/52 (3 point difference)
 +  * Cost as a benefit
 +  * 1/2 of cast patients needed a change
