Summary

A single-blinded randomized controlled trial is initiated. Four weeks of plaster cast immobilization is compared with six weeks of plaster cast immobilization in adult patients with adequately reduced distal radius fracture. Primary outcome parameters are functional outcomes measured with the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation after 6 months of follow-up (FU). Secondary outcomes are Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score after 6 months and one year, 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey after 6 months and one year, functional outcome earlier in Follow up (6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and one year), range of motion, pain level, and complications: number of re-interventions, secondary displacement, delayed and non-union.
