| الوصف: | Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common orthopaedic injury, often requiring surgical intervention. Routine postoperative radiographs are frequently obtained after surgical fixation to ensure adequacy of fixation and rule out early complications, yet their necessity remains unclear. Through this study, we tried to evaluate the impact of routine postoperative radiographs on the management of DRFs. The objective was to determine whether routine postoperative radiographs are necessary for the effective management of patients following surgical fixation of DRFs using volar locking plates. |
