Unscheduled Healthcare Contact after Outpatient Surgical Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Unscheduled Healthcare Contact after Outpatient Surgical Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background:. Distal radius fractures (DRFs) commonly require surgical fixation. Unscheduled healthcare contact (UHC) after surgery represents an area of quality improvement in surgical care. We hypothesize that UHC after outpatient surgical fixation of DRFs is more common in patients undergoing trea...
