“…Danish studies showed a decline in incidence rates of forearm fractures between 1995 and 2010 [12]. However, the Danish and Finnish studies showed no change in nationwide incidence rates of distal forearm fractures between 2013 and 2019 [27,28]. Swedish studies showed an increase of the incidence rate of distal forearm fractures between 1999 and 2010 and a decrease between 2001 and 2016 [2,11,14,15].…”

The purpose of this paper is to describe rates of forearm fractures in adults in Norway 2008-2019. Incidence rate of distal forearm fractures declined over time in both sexes. Forearm fracture constitute a significant health burden and prevention strategies are needed. Purpose To assess age-and sex-specific incidence rates, and time trends for forearm fractures in Norway, and compare these with incidence rates in other Nordic countries. Methods Data on all patients aged 20-107 years with forearm fractures treated in Norwegian hospitals from 2008 to 2019 was retrieved from the Norwegian Patient Registry. Fractures were identified based on International Classification of Disease 10th revision code S52. Age-and sex-specific incidence rates and changes in incidence rates were calculated. ResultsWe identified 181,784 forearm fractures in 45,628,418 person-years. Mean annual forearm fracture incidence rates per 100,000 person-years were 398 (95% CI 390-407) for all, 565 (95% CI 550-580) for women, and 231 (95% CI 228-234) for men above 20 years. Mean annual number of forearm fractures was 15,148 (95% CI 14,722). From 2008 to 2019, age-adjusted total incidence rates of forearm fractures S52 diagnoses declined by 3.5% (incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 0.997 (95% CI 0.994-0.999)) in men. The corresponding decline in women was not significant (IRR: 0.999 (95% CI 0.997-1.002)). In the same period, the age-adjusted incidence rates of distal forearm fractures declined by 7.0% in men (IRR = 0.930; 95% CI 0.886-0.965) and 4.7% in women (IRR = 0.953; 95% CI 0.919-0.976). The incidence rates of distal forearm fractures were similar to rates in Sweden and Finland. Conclusion Age-adjusted incidence rates of distal forearm fractures in both sexes declined over time.

“…Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are among the most common bone fractures, with an increasing incidence. [1][2][3][4][5][6] DRFs have a bimodal distribution and peak incidence in young men with high-energy trauma and in women ≥60 years with low-energy trauma due to decreased bone density. 1 National clinical guidelines from the Danish Health Authority recommend 5 weeks of conservative treatment for stable, non-displaced DRFs.…”

BackgroundCurrent methods of anaesthesia used for closed reduction of distal radial fractures may be insufficient for pain relief and muscle relaxation, potentially compromising reduction quality and patient satisfaction. Peripheral nerve blocks have already been implemented for surgery of wrist fractures and may provide optimal conditions for closed reduction due to complete motor and sensory blockade of the involved nerves. However, existing literature on peripheral nerve blocks for closed reduction is sparse, and no updated systematic review or meta‐analysis exists.AimsThis protocol is developed according to the PRISMA‐P statement. The systematic review and meta‐analysis aim to consolidate the literature regarding the effect and harm of peripheral nerve blocks compared with other anaesthesia modalities for closed reduction of distal radius fractures in adults.MethodsThe two primary outcomes are the proportion of participants needing surgery after closed reduction and pain during closed reduction. We will only include randomised clinical trials. Two review authors will each independently screen literature, extract data, and assess risk of bias with Risk of Bias 2 Tool. Meta‐analysis will be carried out with Rstudio. We will also perform a Trial Sequential Analysis. The certainty of evidence will be judged using GRADE guidelines.DiscussionWe will use up‐to‐date methodology when conducting the systematic review outlined in this protocol. The results may guide clinicians in their decision‐making regarding the use of anaesthesia for closed reduction of distal radius fractures in adults.
