Aims The aim of this study was to examine trends in the management of fractures of the distal radius in Ireland over a ten-year period, and to determine if there were any changes in response to the English Distal Radius Acute Fracture Fixation Trial (DRAFFT). Patients and Methods Data was grouped into annual intervals from 2008 to 2017. All adult inpatient episodes that involved emergency surgery for fractures of the distal radius were included Results In 2008 Kirschner-wire (K-wire) fixation accounted for 59% of operations for fractures of the distal radius, and plate fixation for 21%. In 2017, the rate of K-wire fixation had fallen to 30%, and the proportion of patients who underwent plate fixation had risen to 62%. Conclusion There is an increasing trend towards open reduction and internal fixation for fractures of the distal radius in Ireland. This has been accompanied by a decrease in popularity for K-wire fixation. DRAFFT did not appear to influence trends in the management of fractures of the distal radius in Ireland.

Error Classification

Quotation error is an inaccuracy in the assertions made by authors when referencing another’s work. This study aimed to assess the quotation errors in articles referencing the Distal Radius Acute Fracture Fixation Trial (DRAFFT). A literature search was performed to identify all citations of DRAFFT from 2014 to 2020. The relevant publications were assessed by two reviewers using a validated framework of error classification. There were 83 articles containing references to DRAFFT. There was substantial agreement between the two reviewers (Kappa coefficient 0.66). We found 22/83 (28%) of articles contained an error, with one article containing two errors. There were 12 major errors, which were not substantiated by, were unrelated to or contradicted the findings of DRAFFT, and 11 minor errors, including numerical inaccuracies, oversimplification or generalization. This study highlights that a significant number of articles inaccurately quote DRAFFT. Authors and journals should consider checking the accuracy of key referenced statements.
