The association of ICUC trauma score and quick DASH in a distal radius fracture cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluates the association between ICUC trauma and short-form Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (Quick DASH) scores among patients who underwent surgery for distal radius fractures.

Methods

This research gathered patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from patients registered in the ICUC database at a single trauma center. The study involved 76 adult patients who underwent surgical treatment for distal radius fractures before 2023. These patients received a volar locking plate for their distal radius fracture. The research utilized two different PROs to evaluate the patients' conditions. The ICUC trauma score measures functional impairment and pain through two 5-point scale questions, allowing patients to self-assess these aspects. The
