We stratified patients by insurance type, including private, Medicare, Medicaid, Workers\u2019 Compensation, self-pay, or other coverage (disability insurance, government programs, no charge, no payment). Demographic information and comorbidities were identified, and multivariable regression analysis was used to control for potential confounders to determine factors associated with the likelihood of undergoing surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 37\u2009053 patients with distal radius fractures were identified. And 5919 underwent operative intervention. The most common type of coverage was private insurance (40.9%), followed by Medicare (37.6%) and Medicaid (10.1%). Multivariable regression demonstrated a significantly lower rate of surgery in patients with Medicare (odds ratio [OR]: 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74-0.87;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001) and self-pay (OR: 0.45; 95% CI, 0.38-0.52;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001). There was a higher rate of surgery in patients with Workers\u2019 Compensation (OR: 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07-1.37;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .002).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We show that rates of surgery for distal radius fractures vary by insurance type. Patients with Workers\u2019 Compensation were more likely to undergo operative intervention for their injuries, while those with Medicare and self-pay were less likely to do so.
