Pronator Quadratus Repair Does Not Affect Reoperation Rates Following Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures.

Pronator quadratus repair was more commonly performed in younger patients and in patients with a lower Soong grade. Hand-subspecialized surgeons are more likely to pursue PQ repair than trauma-subspecialized surgeons. This study did not detect statistically significant differences in hardware removal, flexor tendon pathology, or overall reoperations between groups.
