Current studies focus on functional or patient-reported outcomes, with lack of studies pertaining to radiological outcomes. The primary aim of this study is to examine the effect of hand dominance on time to fracture healing following surgical fixation of distal radius fracture. We also looked at the effect of age, gender, fracture comminution and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) status on time to fracture healing.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods: Patients who underwent distal radius fracture fixation surgery in our department from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 were included. Time to fracture healing was taken from the day of surgery to when radiographic union was present as evidence by bridging callus or osseous bone. We looked at the effect of hand dominance, age, gender, fracture comminution and ASA status on time to fracture healing.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: One hundred and forty-five consecutive patients (80 females and 65 males) had a mean period of 56.2 \u00b1 41.8 days to fracture healing post-operatively. Patients with dominant hand injury had a shorter duration to fracture healing than patients with non-dominant hand injury (mean 47.3 \u00b1 31.1 days versus 62.1 \u00b1 46.8 days, p = 0.023). Patients \u2265 65 years and with pre-existing medical conditions (ASA Class II and above) had a longer duration to fracture healing (mean 63.7 \u00b1 53.0 days versus 51.9 \u00b1 33.4 days, p = 0.036 and mean 47.9 \u00b1 30.0 days versus 62.0 \u00b1 47.7 days, p = 0.016, respectively). In addition, patients with comminuted fractures took longer to heal than patients with non-comminuted fractures (mean 57.6 \u00b1 33.4 days versus 48.3 \u00b1 20.8 days, p = 0.038).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion: Time to fracture healing post distal radius fracture fixation surgery was significantly related to hand dominance, as well as age, ASA classification and fracture configuration. Dominant wrist injuries had shorter time to fracture healing.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Level of Evidence: Level IV
