With the increased trend in open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using a volar locking plate, the postoperative rehabilitation course remains debated and whether or not a postoperative immobilization is necessary is unknown. PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-20) were queried through August 2024. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies that compared patients undergoing immediate mobilization after ORIF for DRF with patients undergoing postoperative immobilization. Adverse events, patient-reported outcomes measures, and range of motion (ROM) were all compared between the 2 groups at various postoperative time points. Four randomized controlled trials were included in this study. No difference was seen in the risk of complications (odds ratio = 1.17,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .70) and reoperations (odds ratio = 1.35,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .53) between the 2 groups. The immediate mobilization group had lower pain scores at 6 months (mean difference = \u22120.46,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .005) and lower Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand at 3 months (mean difference = \u22120.45,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .002), and 6 months (mean difference = \u22120.46,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .005).
