Any randomized con- trolled trials comparing pronator quadratus repair versus no repair alongside volar plating of distal radius fractures were included. The relevant information was collected by 2 blinded reviewers using a predetermined data sheet. Clinical outcomes were compared, with all statistical analyses performed using Review Manager Version 5.3.\n\nResults: Five randomized controlled trials with 273 patients were included. There was no significant difference in the range of motion in flexion-extension, ulnar-radial deviation, or pronation-supination. There was a significant difference in favor of the no repair group for Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Score (MD [Mean Difference]: 2.63, P &lt; .0001) and pronation strength (MD: 13, P &lt; .0001). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the visual analog scale score. There were 3 complications relating to pronator quadratus repair, in which patients developed carpal tunnel syndrome requiring a release. There was no significant difference in the re-operation rate.\n\nConclusion: This study found that pronator quadratus repair when performing volar plating for distal radius fractures did not result in a significant improvement in functional outcome, range of motion, or strength.\n\nLevel of Evidence: I, Systematic Review of Level 1 Studies, Level I, Therapeutic Study\n\nCite this article as: Turley LP, Hurley ET, White-Gibson A, Clesham K, Lyons F.
