简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to describe the epidemiological, radiological, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics of distal radius fractures in adults in the Bukavu Health District, South Kivu, DRC.
. The main question it aims to answer is:
• What are the epidemiological, radiological, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics of distal radius fractures in adults in South Kivu, and how does intrafocal nailing influence outcomes such as consolidation time and complication rates in this population?
Participants who have already operated for distal radius fracture will be enrolled in this study.

结局指标
主要结局
Time to consolidation
时间窗: 45 days
Definition: The duration (in days) from the initiation of treatment with intrafocal pinning to radiological evidence of fracture healing (union), defined as the presence of bridging callus across the fracture site on X-ray. Measurement: Calculated retrospectively from medical records, reported as mean ± standard deviation (e.g., 47.56 ± 6.75 days in the study). Rationale: Consolidation time is a direct indicator of treatment success, reflecting the intervention's ability to stabilize the fracture and promote healing. It is critical in a resource-limited setting where prolonged recovery impacts patient function and healthcare burden. Data Source: Radiology reports and follow-up records.
