Sick leave length and the costs of operatively and conservatively treated distal radius fractures in the working age population: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Among the working population, a transient loss of working ability due to distal radius fracture (DRF) has a societal impact in terms of sick leave. Non-operative cast immobilization is the most common treatment option for DRF. However, these fractures are increasingly treated operatively.

Duration of sick leave after operated and non-operated distal radial fracture: a Finnish cohort study of 19,995 patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether operative treatment for distal radial fracture reduces the length of sick leave and the costs of treatment. We identified 19,995 patients from a registry who received a state sick leave allowance between 2010 and 2019 owing to distal radial fractures. We compared these patients to a registry of operations and identified 4346 operated patients.

A comparison of the functional results and costs of functional cast and volar-flexion ulnar deviation cast at 2-year follow-up in 105 patients aged 65 and older with dorsally displaced distal radius fracture: A randomized controlled trial.

Background And Purpose: Non-operative treatment is the most common treatment option for older patients with distal radius fracture (DRF). Traditionally, wrists have been placed in volar-flexion and ulnar deviation position (VFUDC). In recent years, there has been a trend towards using a functional position cast (FC).

Reliability of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5 baseline testing: A 2-week test-retest study.

Objectives: To examine short-term test-retest reliability of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5 (SCAT5).

Design: Longitudinal study.

Methods: Sixty-two professional male ice hockey players (mean age=22.

Incidence for volar locking plate removal following distal radius fracture surgery.

Introduction: Distal radius fracture is the most common fracture in adults. The most common treatment for distal radius fracture is non-operative cast immobilization, although there are injuries that require surgical treatment. During the past decade, studies have reported a large increase in the surgical treatment of distal radius fractures with open reduction and internal fixation using volar locking plates.
