Role of post-operative X-rays in distal-radius fractures among pediatric patients

Table 7 Odds ratio to compare the type of fixation that significantly influence the number of X-rays (≤ 1 X-ray or ≥ 2 X-rays)

Type of fixation	OR1	95%CI
Closed reduction	0.305 (0.035)	0.101-0.919
Open reduction	4.048 (0.084)	0.830-19.731
Internal fixation	3.558 (0.119)	0.721-17.568
ORIF	0.680 (0.707)	0.091-5.064
K wire fixation	0.615 (0.300)	0.246-1.542
2 K wire fixation	1.674 (0.424)	0.473-5.924
TENS	1.244 (0.743)	0.336-4.609
Other2	3.723 (0.240)	0.416-33.308

¹The constant in the outcome variable is ≤ 1 X-ray done after post op compared to ≥ 2 X-rays.

²Other: Close reduction and internal fixation, debridement, or close k- wiring.

OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; TENS: Titanium elastic nailing system; ORIF: Open reduction and internal fixation.
