Question #8Trauma
Would you re-reduce a Colles fracture if you achieve neutral tilt but good length?
Asked 7 hours agoActive 7 hours ago
After closed reduction of an extra-articular Colles fracture, radial height and inclination are acceptable but the lateral X-ray shows neutral tilt rather than volar tilt. In a middle-aged patient, would you accept this or attempt another reduction? At what point does repeated manipulation cause more harm than benefit?
