Objectives: The aim of this research was to investigate the frequency of distal radius fractures compared to the cumulative number of fractures of both the upper arm and forearm, age structure of patients, method of treatment considering the type of fracture and also duration of hospitalization considering the method of treatment. Study design: Cross-section study with historical data. Participants and methods: The study included 97 patients who were treated for a radius fracture in the typical location in The Institute of Traumatology in Clinical hospital center Osijek ranging from January 1st, 2019. to December 31st, 2020. Demographic and clinical data was collected from available medical documentation such as: age, sex, type of fracture, preoperative risk (ASA score), origin of injury, length of hospitalization, comorbidities, type of anesthesia used and early postoperative complications. Results: Results showed that distal radius fractures account for nearly half of upper arm and forearm fractures and it also showed median age of 65. The most commonly used method of surgical treatment was osteosynthesis with plate and screws. Our research also showed that no correlation was found between length of hospitalization and applied method of treatment. Conclusion: Our research showed the distal radius fractures make up about half of the upper arm and forearm fractures. Analysis of the age structure showed the median age of 65. Most commonly used method of treatment of closed fractures was osteosynthesis with plates and screws, and the most commonly used method for open fractures was closed reposition with percutaneous fixation with Kirschner wires. Our research also showed that there is no correlation between length of hospitalization and the applied method of treatment.
