Abstract
Distal radius fractures (DRF) are common. Good outcomes are the result of appropriate initial treatment (immobilization, external fixation, percutaneous pinning or open reduction and internal fixation) and rehabilitation adapted to this treatment. When started immediately, rehabilitation of DRF prevents complications due to immobilization, surgery and a non-controlled healing process. Splints play an important role at all stages of rehabilitation.
