Data included demographics, comorbidities, injury, surgical characteristics, and laboratory findings on admission. A multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to identify the significant predictors, with a composite of any complications occurring within 12 months after the operation as the outcome variable and potentially a range of clinical data as the independent variables. The magnitude of the relationship was indicated by the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      During the study period, 474 patients were included, and 64 had documented complications (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200973), representing an accumulated rate of 13.5%.

The multivariate results showed the following factors significantly associated with increased risk of complications: experience of DRF surgery with &amp;lt;30 cases (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.6\u20133.5), AO type C fracture (OR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2\u20132.9), initial lunate facet collapse of \u22655\u2005mm (OR: 4.2, 95% CI: 1.4\u20138.9), and use of temporary external fixation before index surgery (OR: 2.4,
