Operation time and outcomes in distal radius fracture fixation: a retrospective analysis of single- vs. dual-surgeon procedures in 163 cases
The involvement of two surgeons does not necessarily correlate to operative time in the treatment of DRFs. Furthermore, radiological outcomes and complication rates appear unaffected by the number of surgeons. These findings may support more efficient allocation of surgical resources in hospital settings. The impact and importance of teaching and training in this context warrants further investigation.
