Summary

The goal of this observational study is to describe the epidemiological, radiological, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics of distal radius fractures in adults in the Bukavu Health District, South Kivu, DRC. . The main question it aims to answer is: • What are the epidemiological, radiological, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics of distal radius fractures in adults in South Kivu, and how does intrafocal nailing influence outcomes such as consolidation time and complication rates in this population? Participants who have already operated for distal radius fracture will be enrolled in this study.

Conditions

• Distal Radius Fracture

Interventions
