Key Points

The main aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ACS-NSQIP Risk Calculator in predicting complications from distal radius fracture surgery.
Assessment of ACS-NSQIP applicability to hand-related complications in fracture surgery
Comparison of predicted vs. actual outcomes
Evaluation from quality control and health policy perspectives
ACS-NSQIP Risk Calculator does not accurately predict hand-related complications
Recommendations for cautious application in clinical practice
Implicates need for improved risk assessment tools in fracture surgery

Abstract

ACS-NSQIP fails to accurately predict the number of "hand-related" complications from distal radius fracture surgery. From a health policy, quality control, and clinical standpoint, ACS-NSQIP should be used cautiously with distal radius fracture surgery.
