Modifiable Factors Associated With Chronic Pain 1 Year After Operative Management of Distal Radius Fractures
2020
Overview
Despite appropriate treatment, many patients who sustain distal radius fractures (DRFs) report persistent wrist pain. Chronic musculoskeletal pain is among the leading health problems in the elderly population associated with significant personal and societal burden.
To identify modifiable preoperative factors that are significantly associated with developing chronic pain.
This is a secondary analysis of the Wrist and Radius Injury Surgical Trial (WRIST), a randomized multicenter clinical trial of 24 study sites in the United States, Canada, and Singapore that enrolled patients from April 10, 2012, to December 31, 2016. Adults older than 60 years who sustained closed extra-articular DRFs, were treated operatively, and completed 12-month Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaires (MHQs) were included in this study. Analysis was conducted from September to December 2019.
Volar locking plate internal fixation, external fixation, or percutaneous pinning.
12-month MHQ pain domain score. Inverse probability weighted logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with of chronic pain.
A total of 146 patients with DRF who were treated operatively and had 12-month MHQ scores met inclusion criteria. The mean (SD) patient age was 68.9 (7.2) years, 128 (87.6%) were women, and 93 (63.7%) were retired. Chronic pain was present in 87 patients (59.6%) and absent in 59 patients (40.4%) at 1-year follow-up. A 1-week delay in surgery was associated with more than triple the odds of developing chronic pain (odds ratio [OR], 3.65; 95% CI, 1.48-9.00), and each 10-point increase in preoperative pain was associated with a 17% increase in the odds of experiencing chronic pain (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.02-1.34). Internal fixation was associated with decreased odds of developing chronic pain compared with the other 2 procedures (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.10-0.90).
In this study, preoperative pain, time to surgery, and procedure type were modifiable factors associated with chronic pain 1 year after DRF treated with surgery. Adequate pain control in patients with acute DRFs even before definitive surgical management and earlier fixation for patients requiring surgery may decrease the risk of developing chronic pain. Internal fixation may decrease the risk of chronic pain after DRF surgery, compared with percutaneous pinning or external fixation.
