Routine follow-up imaging is not necessary in uneventful early recovery after distal radius fractures treated with volar locking plate in working-aged patients: A retrospective single-center cohort study.

Routine follow-up radiographs after the treatment of DRF with VLP in the working-aged population rarely leads to changes in treatment strategy or reoperation in asymptomatic patients suggesting that it would be safe and cost-effective to reduce routine follow-up radiographs and focus instead on those patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms.
