Can a left distal radius fracture be left unfixed?

Fracture of distal left radius usually needs to be fixed, which kind of fixation should be based on the degree of displacement of the fracture and the degree of injury, commonly used methods of fixation include plaster or brace fixation, external fixation frame fixation, closed reduction percutaneous pinning fixation and incision reduction internal fixation and other methods.
1. Plaster or brace fixation: it is suitable for stable fracture and part of the fracture with mild displacement, and it is fixed with plaster or brace for 4 weeks after manipulation, during the period of fixation, attention should be paid to the functional exercise of fingers, elbow and shoulder joints, and most of them can gradually recover under the guidance of the doctor.
2. External fixation frame fixation: it is suitable for unstable fracture of distal radius, especially the fracture with angular and overlapping displacement of the fracture ends, and the external fixation frame can maintain continuous axial traction.
3. Fixed reduction percutaneous pinning: suitable for comminuted but not very serious fractures of the distal radius, and fractures with less serious osteoporosis, which also require cast immobilization after surgery.
4. Incision and reduction internal fixation: mainly used for intra-articular fracture with serious injury, and fracture that cannot be reduced by manipulation or has poor stability after reduction.
Patients with left distal radius fracture should actively cooperate with the doctor, improve the auxiliary examination, and make a clear diagnosis, and then according to the specific condition, the professional physician will formulate a reasonable treatment plan.
