Scientific title | Function versus position of the wrist following distal radial fracture |
Study objectives | 1. To investigate whether the end result following k-wire fixation of the distal radius changes depending upon the position of the hand. 2. To establish whether time to recovery differs significantly depending upon the position of the hand. |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Injury, Occupational Diseases, Poisoning: Radial fracture |
Intervention | Patients with distal radial fractures undergoing reduction and k-wire fixation are randomised to dorsi or palmar flexion in plaster of Paris (POP). Upon removal of POP, grip test is measured using a Jamar Dynamometer. At 8 weeks, grip strength is measured again and the test is repeated at 17 weeks. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Grip strength 2. Range of motion 3. Radiological outcomes |
