Ali M, et al. - An epidemiological study on residents of northeastern Skane in southern Sweden (population 182,000) was carried out to ascertain the overall incidence of distal radius fracture and the incidence according to age, gender, and fracture characteristics in the region’s adult population during 2016, and to study the change in incidence in the same general population between 2001 and 2016 applying wrist radiographs to identify fracture cases. During 2016, two orthopedic surgeons reviewed all wrist radiographs conducted at the only two emergency hospitals in the study region to distinguish individuals, above 18 years of age, who sustained fracture of the distal radius. Researchers applied Poisson regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, and at-risk population to correlate the incidence in 2016 with the incidence in 2001, previously estimated using similar methodology. Between 2001 and 2016, a statistically significant and clinically important decrease in the incidence of distal radius fracture occurred in a general population of Sweden, driven by lower incidence in individuals 50 years or older.
