Abstract

BACKGROUND: Treatments for distal radius fractures (DRFs) are determined by various factors. Therefore, quantitative or qualitative tools have been introduced to assist in deciding the treatment approach. This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model that determines the need for surgical treatment in patients with DRFs using a ML model that incorporates various clinical data concatenated with plain radiographs in the anteroposterior and lateral views.
