摘　　要：Distal radius fractures are common and while historically most have been treated nonoperatively the frequency with which distal radius fractures are treated surgically is increasing. Criteria for considering surgical treatment are often based on radiographic appearance of the fracture. Less often discussed is patient preference: what do patients want. We investigated responses of a general population when presented with various treatment options following a hypothetical distal radius fracture. Many respondents chose nonoperative treatment even when told that surgery might result in a better outcome. This information can help during the shared decision-making process when discussing treatment options with a patient who presents with a distal radius fracture.Distal radius fractures are common and while historically most have been treated nonoperatively the frequency with which distal radius fractures are treated surgically is increasing.
