Risk Factors for Infection After Distal Radius Fracture Fixation: Analysis of Impact on Cost of Care

Risk Factors for Infection After Distal Radius Fracture Fixation: Analysis of Impact on Cost of Care

Purpose: Infection after distal radius fracture fixation can be a devastating complication, leading to potential hardware removal, prolonged antibiotic courses, multiple office visits, and increased costs. This study aimed to identify potential risk factors for infectious complications after distal...
