Introduction: Distal radius fractures in adult patients have an incidence of 190-200/100,000 habitants, representing between 26-46% of all fractures observed in a primary care center. Anatomic reduction of the distal radius fracture usually has better functional results. Objective: To determine the correlation between radiographic and functional results in adult patients with distal radius fractures treated with no surgical treatment. Material/Methods: Retrospective review was performed the records of patients with distal radius fractures treated conservatively between January 2015 and September 2020. Radiographic measurements were performed at the beginning and at the end of treatment, later the functional results were evaluated with the PRWE questionnaire Via telephone, this due to the contingency by COVID-19. For the general data of the patients, the measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) were carried out and for the comparison of groups the Chi-square test was used. All the statistical analysis was carried out with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. (Version 19.0; SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: A total of 31 patients were included in our study. During follow-up, there were 16 patients with acceptable reduction and 15 patients with unacceptable reduction. The results of this group of patients were compared with the results of the PRWE questionnaire, presenting a non-statistically significant association (p=0.765).
