- AO class A2, A3, C1, or C2 distal radius fractures
- Dorsally displaced distal radius fracture with minimum VLDV over 100 degrees or ulnar variance over 2 mm compared to the healthy side before reduction, with or without PSU fracture
- Fracture reduced to an acceptable position: VLDV 75-95 degrees, radial inclination (RIV) more than 15 degrees, ulnar variance less than or equal to 2 mm, and step or diastasis in the joint surface less than 2 mm
You will not qualify if you...

- Ad latus displacement more than 2 cortex widths after reduction
- Bilateral fractures
- Open fractures
- Previous wrist fracture in adulthood
- Open growth disc visible on X-ray
- Fractures of the antebrachium or carpal bones
- Ligament damage in the root of the hand or distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ)
