Evaluation of using grip strength and hand muscle cross-sectional area to predict secondary fractures post distal radius fracture
Grip strength measurement, as a surrogate of sarcopenia diagnosis, effectively predicts secondary fracture risk in patients with DRF. This simple tool could improve clinical practice by identifying high-risk patients for targeted interventions to prevent recurrent fractures or even reverse functional decline.
