Distal radius fracture is a common trauma in the elderly because of the high frequency of osteoporosis in this age group. In general among hand and forearm fractures, fractures of the distal radius comprise the largest portion (44 percent). The majority of distal radius fractures occur as isolated injuries in two distinct populations: youth involved in sports who sustain a relatively high-energy fall, and seniors with osteoporotic bones who sustain a low-energy fall.
