Background: Racial/ethnic disparities have been demonstrated across multiple orthopedic sub-specialties. There is a paucity of literature examining disparities in distal radius fracture (DRF) management. Methods: Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, we analyzed 15 559 non-Hispanic (NH) White, NH Black, NH Asian, and Hispanic adults who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for DRF from 2013 to 2019. We evaluated time from hospital admission to surgery and length of stay using Poisson regression. Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (PE), and wound complications were reported using descriptive statistics. Thirty-day reoperation and readmission were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results: Wait time to surgery was longer for Hispanic patients than NH White patients (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 2.54, P < .001); this narrowed over time (IRR: 0.944, P = .047). Length of stay was longer for NH Black (IRR: 1.78, P < .001) and Hispanic patients (IRR: 1.83, P < .001), but shorter for NH Asian (IRR: 0.715, P = .019) than NH White patients; this temporally narrowed for NH Black patients (IRR: 0.908, P = .001). Deep venous thrombosis, PE, and wound complications occurred at a rate less than 0.30% across all groups. Hispanic patients were less likely to undergo reoperation than NH White patients (odds ratio [OR]: 0.254, P = .003). While there was no difference in readmission between groups in the aggregated study period, NH Black patients experienced a temporal increase in readmissions relative to NH White patients (OR: 1.40, P = .038). Conclusions: Racial and ethnic disparities exist in DRF management. Further investigation on causes for and solutions to combat these disparities in DRF care may help improve the inequities observed.
