The Impact of Malnutrition on 30-Day Postoperative Complications following Surgical Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures.

 Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are increasingly managed surgically among fragility fractures due to prolonged life expectancy and surgical advancements. Yet, malnutrition can impact postoperative outcomes and complications. We sought to determine the impact of malnutrition on open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of DRFs during the perioperative and 30-day postoperative periods.
