Key Points

To determine the incidence proportion of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after distal radius fracture (DRF).
Conducted a population-based register study
Analyzed CRPS diagnosis rates post-DRF
Focused on age groups and treatment types, including surgery
Observed low incidence proportion (IP) of CRPS following distal radius fracture
Higher IP noted in individuals aged 30-65
Increased incidence also noted in patients treated surgically

Implication

Population-based register study shows low incidence of CRPS after distal radius fracture, suggesting possible underdiagnosis.
