The Fragility of Statistical Findings in Distal Radius Fractures: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Purpose: Probability analysis with reporting of P values is often used to determine the statistical significance of study findings in the orthopedic literature. The fragility index (FI) has been used to evaluate the robustness of a significant result. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of applying a fragility analysis to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating distal radius fractures (DRFs).
