Distal radius fracture is a common wrist injury and the radius was the most common long bone to fracture. The incidence distal radius fracture is approximately 162 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Patients of all age groups may develop distal radius fracture. Extremes of ages are at the highest risk for distal radius fractures. Distal radius fracture usually affects individuals of Caucasian race more than any other race. The female to male ratio is higher in elderly, whereas there is an equal gender predilection for young adults. | [[Distal radius fracture]] is a common [[wrist]] injury and the [[radius]] was the most common long bone to [[Bone fracture|fracture]].

Overview
Distal radius fracture is a common wrist injury and the radius was the most common long bone to fracture. The incidence distal radius fracture is approximately 162 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Patients of all age groups may develop distal radius fracture. Extremes of ages are at the highest risk for distal radius fractures. Distal radius fracture usually affects individuals of Caucasian race more than any other race. The female to male ratio is higher in elderly, whereas there is an equal gender predilection for young adults.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Distal radius fracture (DRF) is a common wrist injury and the radius was the most common long bone to fracture. Epidemiology and demographics of distal radius fracture is as follows:[1][2][3][4][5]
Incidence
- The incidence distal radius fracture is approximately 162 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop distal radius fracture.
- Children and adolescents are at a particularly high risk for distal radius fractures, in part due to a rapidly developing skeletal structure.
- The incidence distal radius fracture in children and adolescents is approximately 301.8 per 100,000 individuals in United States of America.
- The incidence of distal radius fractures in the adult population is significantly lower than in other age groups.[3]
- On the other hand, the incidence distal radius fracture in elderly >65 years is approximately 254.2 per 100,000 individuals.
Race
- Distal radius fracture usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race more than African-American, Hispanics and Asians.[4][5]
Gender
- Women have higher rates of distal radius fractures in individuals above the age of 65 years.
- The ratio of male to female is approximately the same in younger adults.
Region
- The majority of distal radius fracture cases are reported in North Europe.
