Popis: Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are the most common upper extremity fractures with more than 600 000 cases per year in the United States and account for up to 18% of fractures in the geriatric population. The purpose of our study was to identify the influence of age on 30-day postoperative outcomes while adjusting for patient demographics and comorbidities. Methods: The National Surgery Quality Improvement Program database was queried for patients having undergone open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of DRFs. Current Procedural Terminology codes 25607, 25608, and 25609 between the years 2007 and 2016 were collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1, 18 to 64 years; and group 2, 65 years and older. Patient demographics; preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative variables; and complications were recorded and analyzed. Results: In all, 5894 patients were identified; group 1 consisted of 4056 patients aged
