- Abstract
- This study aimed to evaluate the incidence rates of and risk factors for complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) after surgery for distal radius fractures (DRFs). Using data from January 2007 to December 2014, we analysed the data from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment (HIRA) service. After extracting the data of patients aged >= 18 years whose diagnostic and operation codes for DRFs were entered into the HIRA database, we analysed the incidence rates of and risk factors for CRPS-1. From 2007 to 2014, 172,194 DRFs were treated surgically. Within 1 year postoperatively, 1,103 CRPS-1 cases were diagnosed, with an incidence of 0.64%. On univariate and multivariate analyses, the risk factors that significantly correlated with the incidence of CRPS-1 included female sex, rheumatoid arthritis, open reduction, open fracture, and accompanying ulnar fracture, whereas old age, psychiatric disease, and external fixation were not statistically significant. The incidence of CRPS-1 after surgery for DRF was very low (0.64%) in South Korea. Careful monitoring is necessary for patients with complex fractures and rheumatoid arthritis who are at increased risk of developing CRPS-1.
