Abstract: Twenty nine patients with distal radius fractures treated with various modalities including LCP and K-wire fixation with below elbow cast from September 2018 to May 2019 prospectively, with follow up period of 6 months. Functional outcome of each patient was assessed based on DASH score and Radiological score was assessed using Radiological score at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. The outcome of this study states that there is positive correlation exists between radiological and functional outcomes. Positive correlation exists with individual radiological parameters and functional outcomes, although the strength of correlation was poor. Among the radiological parameters, Ulnar Variance showed the greatest correlation while the Radial Inclination was the least correlated.
