The Effect of Point-of-care Ultrasound Guidance for Distal Radius Fracture Reduction

After the fracture reduction maneouver, the physician will assess residual dorsal angulation using point-of-care ultrasound. If deemed adequate, the physician will progress to immobilization. If the reduction is not adequate, the physician will attempt further reduction at their discretion.

The distal radius fracture will be reduced with using a combination of local anesthetic, sedation, reduction maneouvers and immobiliazation at the discretion of the treating physician
