Range of Motion and Patients With Distal Radius Fractures

NCT00816998 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 39

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hypothesis : Early active range of motion protocol after open reduction and internal fixation of a distal radius fracture with a volar fixed angle locking plate results in earlier return of functional motion, earlier return to work and improved functional outcomes compared delayed mobilization.

Specific Aim:

To compare early range of motion versus delayed motion protocol in distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation with a volar fixed angle locking plate with respect to time to fracture union, range of motion, functional outcome measures, return to work and complications.
