Scientific titleExternal fixation or volar plating for treating deviated distal radius fracture: randomized clinical trial
Study objectivesOsteosynthesis with volar blocked plate has functional, anatomic results, failure and complication rate similar to the treatment with external fixation method
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Federal Univeristy of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (Comitê de ética em pesquisa da Universidade Federal de Sâo Paulo) ref: 0011-11, January 2011
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDeviated distal radius fracture
Intervention1. The patients will be allocated in two treatment options, regarding to operative treatment of distal radius fracture:
1.1. Volar platting, which consists of an open reduction and internal fixation using a volar plate
1.2. External fixation – which consist of a transarticular bridging fixation. All the patients will be followed at 1, 3, 6,9,12 weeks and 6, 12 months.
2. All patients will be followed by the research team for 1 year
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Functional assessment
2. Patient satisfaction with the surgical method
3. All outcomes (DASH, SF-36, VAS) will be applied at 3,6,12 weeks and 6 and 12 months
Secondary outcome measures1. Anatomic and radiographic
2. Complications
3. Method failure
