Timing of Bridge Plate Removal and Distal Radius Fracture Outcomes

NCT05578612 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2024-12-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this randomized control trial will be to determine whether the duration of bridge plate fixation of distal radius fractures can be reduced to 6-8 weeks without worsening of functional outcomes relative to the current standard of greater than 12 weeks of fixation. The secondary aim of the study is to determine whether a reduced duration of bridge plate fixation leads to an increase in wrist range of motion following plate removal compared to the standard duration of fixation. 100 patients with comminuted distal radius fractures that are indicated for bridge plate fixation will be randomized to the Accelerated Removal arm (n = 50) or the Standard Removal arm (n = 50).
