One hundred forty-five patients with fractures of the distal end of the radius (age range, 13 to 76 years; means, 61 years) were treated conservatively with a Chinese system of external fixation. Most of the fractures were of the extension and extraarticular type. The fixation system consists of four splints used in conjunction with three pressure pads and three or four slings. The system was used after successful manipulative reduction, and the patients were instructed to move their joints as soon as possible. The results, especially in elderly patients, were highly encouraging. We believe that this Chinese system of external fixation serves as a kind of functional brace.
145例桡骨远端骨折患者（年龄范围13至76岁，平均61岁）采用一种中国的外固定系统进行保守治疗。大多数骨折为伸直型和关节外骨折。该固定系统由四块夹板、三个压垫和三或四个吊带组成。手法复位成功后使用该系统，并指导患者尽快活动关节。结果，尤其是老年患者的结果非常令人鼓舞。我们认为这种中国的外固定系统可作为一种功能性支具。
