GLP-1 receptor agonist use in surgical patients has increased, with only 1.0% prevalence observed in the cohort over six years.
Postoperative complications were rare, with only one instance of nausea reported among GLP-1 users.
The study was retrospective, analyzing data from 4,811 patients treated for distal radius fractures.
Awareness of GLP-1's perioperative implications and evolving guidelines is vital as usage expands in orthopaedic settings.
