Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are among the most common skeletal injuries in orthopedic practice, often leading to significant morbidity and requiring precise management to restore functionality and prevent complications. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) radius fixation in the management and outcomes of distal radius fractures. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) radius fixation in the management and outcomes of distal radius fractures. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics at Monowara Sikder Medical College & Hospital, Shariatpur, from June 2023 to May 2024, involving 100 patients with distal radius fractures. Inclusion criteria were adults ≥18 years requiring surgical intervention, excluding pathological fractures, severe comorbidities, or prior wrist surgeries. Patients underwent DCP fixation, with follow-up assessing healing, functional outcomes (Gartland and Werley score), complications, and satisfaction. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: The study of 100 patients (mean age 35.25 years, 75% male) found DCP radius fixation effective for distal radius fractures, with 92% achieving union and 65% excellent functional outcomes. Complications were minimal (5% superficial infections), and patient satisfaction was high (92% satisfied or very satisfied), demonstrating the procedure's efficacy and patient acceptance. Conclusion: DCP radius fixation proves to be a reliable and effective treatment for distal radius fractures, offering high union rates, excellent functional outcomes, minimal complications, and high patient satisfaction.
