Summary

Objectives: To compare the cast index and three-point index measurements obtained using computed tomography (CT) with those acquired using conventional methods for treating distal radius fractures Design: A retrospective cohort study Setting: Level 1 trauma center Patients: One hundred and thirteen (45 men and 68 women) patients with distal radius fractures Interventions: Patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively analyzed and received either conservative cast treatment or surgical intervention through open reduction and internal fixation between 2016 and 2022. Main outcome measurements: The study evaluated the cast index and three-point index in the cast-treated group and their effectiveness using the Sarmiento index. Furthermore, radial height, volar tilt, and radial inclination were compared between the surgically treated and cast-treated groups.
