Both non-surgical and surgical treatments can be applied for this common injury. Nowadays, more and more elderly patients with DRFs undergo surgical treatments to restore pre-injury activity levels faster. However, optimal treatment for geriatric DRFs is still debated, and careful evaluation and selection of patients are warranted considering clinical and functional outcomes, and complications following surgical treatments. Furthermore, osteoporosis is a predominant factor in elderly DRFs mostly deriving from a low-energy trauma, so many treatment modalities are developed to enhance better bone healing. Among various options for bone augmentation, bone cement is one of the most widely used measures. Bone cement such as calcium phosphate theoretically improves fracture stability and healing, but whether the elderly patients with DRFs can significantly benefit from surgical fixation with bone cement augmentation (BCA) remains controversial. Hence, in the present review, the latest literature regarding current concepts of management and evidence about volar locking plate fixation (VLPF) with BCA for elderly DRFs was searched in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science; out of &gt;1000 articles, full texts of 48 and 6 articles were then examined and analyzed separately for management and VLPF with BCA for elderly DRFs. We aim to provide the readers with updates concerning the above issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12216801","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]],"date-time":"2023-10-27T11:50:18Z","timestamp":1698407418000},"page":"6801","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Current Management and Volar Locking Plate Fixation with Bone Cement Augmentation for Elderly Distal Radius Fractures\u2014An Updated Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ting-Han","family":"Tai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital, New Taipei City 235041, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2355-3292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Po-Jui","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital, New Taipei City 235041, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Primary Care Medicine, Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital, New Taipei City 235041, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuan-Yu","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital, New Taipei City 235041, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1638-960X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeffrey J.","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital, New Taipei City 235041, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6797-7989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chin-Chean","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital, New Taipei City 235041, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, School of Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 110301, Taiwan"},{"name":"Research Center of Biomedical Devices, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 110301, Taiwan"},{"name":"International PhD Program for Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 110301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hcl.2012.02.001","article-title":"The epidemiology of distal radius fractures","volume":"28","author":"Nellans","year":"2012","journal-title":"Hand Clin."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"21","article-title":"Epidemiology, classification, treatment and mortality of distal radius fractures in adults: An observational study of 23,394 fractures from the national Swedish fracture register","volume":"8","author":"Rundgren","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Musculoskelet.
