Preoperative Depression Is Associated With Increased Complications Following Distal Radius Fracture Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Depression is a known risk factor for inferior outcomes after orthopedic procedures, but its specific relationship with distal radius fractures remains unknown. This study investigates the relationship between preoperative diagnosed depression and common postoperative complications occurring within the first year after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures.

Methods

This retrospective study used Truven MarketScan database and the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to identify distal radius fracture patients who underwent ORIF in the United States between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes were used to identify patients with and without a diagnosis of preoperative depress
