• Gives trainees quantifiable, fracture-pattern-specific windows for surgical timing rather than a vague "sooner is better" heuristic — associated fracture patterns appear more time-sensitive than elementary ones. • Reinforces that reduction quality and functional outcome are linked to how quickly a patient reaches definitive fixation, which has implications for how trauma pathways triage and schedule these cases. • Useful evidence when advocating for regional trauma system resources or theatre access, since delays beyond the identified windows were associated with measurably worse odds of a good outcome.
