Defining Displacement Thresholds for Surgical Intervention for Distal Radius Fractures - a Delphi Study

NCT03126474 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 43

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Wrist (distal radius fractures) are very common injuries. Despite this there is still much controversy about the best way to treat them and in particular which ones require intervention. Many studies have been carried out but there is no strong evidence to answer these questions. The investigators are carrying out a Delphi study which involves seeking consensus from experts at treating these injuries about the best way to manage them. UK and international expert surgeons will take part in three rounds of online questionnaires to help decide how much displacement of the fracture will trigger treatment for different common wrist fracture cases. The aim of the study is to obtain expert opinion through consensus from the expert group about the amount of displacement that is acceptable until intervention is required.

This will provide guidance and reduce variation between treating surgeons.
