Does Time to Surgery for Distal Radius Fractures Impact Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes? A Systematic Literature Review. Current orthopaedic practice Julian, K. R., Truong, N. M., Leversedge, C., Kwong, J. W., Rosinski, A., Kamal, R. N., Shapiro, L. M. 2023; 34 (5): 229-235

Abstract

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common upper extremity fractures across all age groups. Although the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (AAOS) Clinical Practice Guidelines have defined recommendations for the treatment of distal radius fractures, the optimal time to surgery was not included. There remains relatively little guidance or consensus regarding the optimal timing of surgical intervention for distal radius fractures and the impact of time to surgery on outcomes. As such, the purpose of this investigation is to systematically review clinical and radiographic outcomes associated with time to surgical management of distal radius fractures.
