Studies investigating and comparing short (&lt;\u20093\u00a0weeks) versus long (&gt;\u20093\u00a0weeks) immobilizations for the conservative treatment of distal radius fractures were included. The studies were evaluated for radiological and functional outcomes, including pain, grip strength, and range of motion.

Patient-reported outcome measurements, grip strength, range of motion, and radiological outcomes were often better after shorter immobilization treatments. Radiological outcomes were better with longer immobilization in two studies and shorter immobilization in one study. Fourteen studies concluded that early mobilization is preferred, while the remaining two studies observed better outcomes with longer immobilization. The data were unsuitable for meta-analysis due to their heterogeneous nature.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Shorter immobilization for conservatively treated distal radius fractures often yield equal or better outcomes than longer immobilizations. The immobilization for non- or minimally displaced distal radius fractures could therefore be shortened to 3 weeks or less. Displaced and reduced distal radius fractures cannot be immobilized shorter than 4\u00a0weeks due to the risk of complications. Future research with homogeneous groups could elucidate the optimal duration of immobilization.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-024-02494-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T07:02:37Z","timestamp":1710918157000},"page":"1621-1636","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Cast immobilization duration for distal radius fractures, a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2530-3422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcel A.
