Patients were grouped according to the treatment documented in their medical records: conventional manual closed reduction and cast immobilization (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200920) or device-assisted reduction and cast immobilization (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200920). Clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes recorded at 1 week, 6 months, and 1 year were extracted and compared.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The groups had equal distribution in age, gender, injured side, classification of fracture. Volar tilt (Vt), and Ulnar variance (Uv) were better in device group at each follow-up point, Radial inclination (Ri) and Radial length (Rl) were similar at 6-month and 1-year follow-up. Wrist flexion, extension and pronation were better in device group at 6-month and 1-year follow-up. DASH scores were better in device group at 6-month follow-up and similar at 1-year follow-up. Skin damage, neurovascular injury and tenosynovitis did not occur in any patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The device is convenient and effective for reduction of distal radius fractures.
