Patient-Reported Outcomes After Distal Radius Fractures Differ Across Geographic and Cultural Populations: A Global Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the heterogeneity of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures across different cultural and geographic populations. Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, they found significant variations in PRO scores, such as DASH, PRWE, and VAS, indicating that outcomes are not universally applicable and differ meaningfully across cultural contexts.
