Abstract
Fractures around wrist joint are common complication happening after fall on an outstretched hand. It is
more common in female, and mostly in age above 55 years. Different methods of treatment has been
established such as surgical and conservative management, each mode of treatment has its own
complication such as, pain, stiffness, swelling, deformity, infection. Non operative treatment include splinting
or casting with or without reduction, operative treatment includes percutaneous k-wiring, external fixator for
complex fracture or fracture with open wound, open fixation with volar or dorsal plate. Still there is
controversy that what method is better in getting the good functional outcome, minimizing the duration of
cast immobilization, early fixation, and early start of rehabilitation. All of them play part in better functional
outcome. In the past manipulation and fixation without opening the fracture site has been the choice of
treatment, comparatively in recent advances fixation with plate through anterior approach is a preferred
option because it has less complication rate, plays better role in early range of movement. The information
was retrieved from reliable search engines e.g. PubMed, Medline, Google scholar and others, through
original research papers and reviews from2003 to 2019. Purpose of this study is to know which method of
management has better outcome and its role in early rehabilitation.
