NCT05095415 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-09-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This will be a prospective randomized control trial with a blocking method to determine the effect of an occupational therapy focused pre-operative education on 3 pre-determined diagnosis: Carpometacarpal (CMC) Arthroplasty, Distal radius fracture requiring open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and tendon repairs of the hand. Possible participants will be recruited through Cape Fear Orthopedics \& Sports Medicine and receiving care from an orthopedic surgeon \& hand specialist. Researchers hypothesize that those who receive the occupational therapy consult will demonstrate improved adherence with occupational therapy appointments, improved patient perceived function, and overall improved experiences with the pre-operative patient experience.

Conditions

  • Flexor Tendon Rupture
  • Thumb Osteoarthritis
  • Distal Radius Fracture

Interventions

OTHER

Preoperative education will be given by the treating orthopedic surgeon first and will then be followed by a consult with a final semester, occupational therapy student. The pre-operative education will include the importance of attending therapy, what to expect at therapy, typical duration of therapy for their specific diagnosis, and address any questions of ther participant. Participants will be given educational materials and access to education videos to watch if they so choose.
