Sonographic Assessment of Reduction in Colles' Fracture

NCT02353065 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2015-02-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Colles fractures are a common type of wrist fracture that often requires manipulation in the Emergency Department. Currently xrays are used to assess whether this has been successful, which are done once the plaster cast has been applied. This study will assess whether ultrasound can be used immediately after the manipulation to check the position, before the plaster cast is applied. This would then be followed by an xray as normal.

The aim is to assess the feasibility of a full study to determine which method is faster, causes less pain, and also to assess if either approach reduces the need for repeat attempts at manipulation and surgical repair.
