Implication

Retrospective observational study investigates risk factors for complications after distal radius fracture surgery, indicating the importance of operative time.

Key Points

This research aims to identify clinical and injury-related factors associated with specific postoperative complications after surgical treatment of distal radius fractures.
Retrospective observational study using medical records of patients treated for distal radius fractures from January 2022 to June 2025.
Patients were divided into complication and non-complication groups using propensity score matching, with 60 cases per group.
Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for postoperative complications.
Tendon irritation/rupture (31.7%) and internal fixation-related discomfort (23.3%) were the most common postoperative complications observed.
Operative time exceeding 90 minutes was identified as a significant risk factor for complications (OR = 4.006, 95% CI: 1.806–3.888, p < 0.05).
Secondary outcomes showed significantly poorer wrist range of motion and grip strength recovery in the complication group compared to the non-complication group (p < 0.05).
