Proportions of patients treated surgically for distal radius fractures with different methods.
Patients are adults in each of the 21 health care regions in Sweden during 2010–2013 (IF internal fixation, PF pin fixation, EF external fixation). Multinomial logistic regression performed with the proportion of surgical management with internal fixation in Örebro region (the highest proportion) as the reference.
