Background: The distal radius is the maximum common site of fracture within the upper extremity. Dorsal articulations are frequent in distal radius fractures (DRFs) since fall on an outstretched hand is the common mechanism of injury and the dorsal cortex is much weaker at the distal radius end. This dorsal comminution makes the management difficult, and dorsal rim fractures sometimes develop all through dorsal comminution of DRF. Aim: This work aims to determine the efficacy and safety of operative vs. conservative management of adult patients with distal radius fractures. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was performed over different medical databases to identify orthopedic surgery studies, which studied the outcome of the Operative group versus the Conservative group of adult patients with dist..
