All patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of a distal radius fracture (DRF) between the years 2010 and 2015 were isolated from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patient demographics, respective surgical volume, outcome variables, and complications were extracted. The primary outcomes were surgical time, hospital length of stay, and unplanned reoperation. A total of 6691 patients were included in the study, the majority of whom were treated by orthopaedic surgeons. While there were no significant differences in baseline demographics between the patients treated by orthopaedic and plastic surgeons, the overall operative time was significantly less for DRFs fixed by orthopaedic surgeons. While there was a significant difference for extra-articular fractures, this difference increased significantly for complex intra-articular fractures. Additionally, hospital length of stay was significantly shorter for patients treated by orthopaedic surgeons. To produce well-rounded, technically skilled surgeons, plastic surgery programs should incorporate fixation principles into their training programs.
