Patients were identified using the digital medical records of the hospital. We used the CIM-10 classification [7] codes: S52-5 and S52-6. Statistical analyses were conducted using the on-line software of the Jussieu Paris VI University : BiostaTGV [8]. Student's t-test and Fisher's exact F-test were used for that mean. The main outcome was the functional result at the end of the patient's follow up. It was measured objectively with wrist motility and subjectively with the common satisfaction of the patient and the surgeon. Secondary outcomes included hospitalization time, immobilization duration, rate and nature of complications, and the pain at the end of the follow up. Source of Funding There was no external funding source for this study. Results Ninety-four patients were hospitalized in our institution between January 1 st , 2010 and June 30 th 2013. There were 74 surgical treatments and 20 conservatives' treatments. The mean age was 88.7 (85-101).
