The influence of patient, hospital, and seasonal factors on wait to surgery are investigated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Patients and Methods\u2003We reviewed Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data between April 2009 and March 2013. Proportion of procedures being performed within 3 and 7 days was calculated. A linear regression model was created to investigate the relationship between wait for surgery and patient and hospital factors.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003A total of 9,318 patients were sent home to return for planned acute DRF surgery during the 4-year study period. Mean time to surgery was 3.04 days (range 1\u2013days, standard deviation [SD] 3.14). A total of 6,538 patients underwent surgery within 3 days (70.2%) and 8,747 within 7 days (93.9%). Patients listed for surgery and sent home to return waited longer if listed toward the end of the week. Less surgery was performed at weekends, and patients were less likely to be listed for semielective trauma surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2003Acute semielective DRF fixation is generally performed within targets for extra-articular fractures but there is scope for improvement for intra-articular fractures. Day of presentation and increasing number of comorbidities increase wait for surgery. Hospital trusts should focus on improving pathways for patients with multiple comorbidities and strategies to improve accessibility of these services at weekends.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1739145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,18]],"date-time":"2021-11-18T23:48:00Z","timestamp":1637279280000},"page":"330-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors Associated with Timely Surgery for Semi-elective Distal Radius Fracture Fixation"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5543-6384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nick A.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Academic Team of Musculoskeletal Surgery, University Hospitals of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph J.","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery, University Hospitals of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"07","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"555","DOI":"10.1007\/s001980170076","article-title":"Incidence of distal forearm fracture in British men and women","volume":"12","author":"T W O'Neill","year":"2001","journal-title":"Osteoporos Int"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"250","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fas.2013.06.014","article-title":"Home therapy pathway -
