Unstable Distal Radius Fractures With Dorsal Dislocation in Patients Aged 18-64 Years. Volar Locking...

Distal Radius FracturesWrist Fracture1 more

120 patients age 18-64 years with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures AO-type A2, A3 and C1 are recruited from Oslo Casualty Medical Centre (Oslo Skadelegevakt). Patients are randomized to surgery with closed reduction and pins (CRPP) or open reduction and volar locking plate (VLP). The hypotheses is that CRPP will give equal function and satisfaction to VLP. Patients are followed by current practice of follow-ups until 5 weeks postoperatively, and in addition due to the study with functional tests after 2, 3, 6 and 12 months. These follow-ups will be performed by hand therapist. Scores are also recorded from Patient-Reported Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE), Quick-Dash (Q-d) and EuroQol Questionnaire (EQ-5D) questionnaires. The main efficacy measure in the study is PRWHE scores after 12 months. There will be X-ray initially, postoperatively and after 12 months. Sub-objectives in the study are analyses of cost-effectiveness (measured by EQ 5D, personnel use, use of additional healthcare service and absence from work), and differences in complications between the two methods.

CoNCReTe-trial: Colles Fractures, Determining the Norm in Closed Reduction Techniques

Colles' Fracture

Rationale: Many different closed techniques are used to reduce a dorsally dislocated distal radius fracture (Colles' fracture). One trial to compare two main techniques (finger-trap traction and manual manipulation) did not find significant difference in radiological and clinical outcome (Earnshaw 2002). This trial aims to investigate patient and medical satisfaction between both techniques Objective: To demonstrate patient satisfaction (pain, duration, general) and medical satisfaction (difficulty of reposition). It is suggested that finger-trap traction causes less pain for patients and is more easy than manual manipulation but have the same radiological and clinical outcome. Study design: Randomised controlled intervention study Study population: 300 Patients with newly diagnosed closed distal radius fractures with dorsal angulation (Colles' fracture) older than 16years coming to the Emergency Medical Department. Intervention: One group is put in finger-trap traction (digitus 1-3) for 10minutes with 4-5kg of ballast on their upper arm followed by reduction by dorsal pressure. The other group is manually reduced according to Charnley with traction and "hooking over" of the fracture elements. Main study parameters/endpoints: Visual analogue scale of patient and medical satisfaction, percentage of successful primary reductions. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Apart for the regular follow-up of patients with distal radius fractures,one extra out-patient visit is necessary to assess functional outcome after three months.Finger-trap traction has a (theoretical) risk of causing traumatic damage to ligaments of the fingers, but this risk is in our opinion not higher than in the manual manipulation. It is expected that the finger-trap traction group is more satisfied because this technique seems less traumatic than but as successful as the manual manipulation group.

A Trial Comparing Circumferential Casting Versus Splinting in Displaced Colles' Fractures

Colles' Fracture

Displaced fractures of the distal radius requiring closed reduction (otherwise known as Colles fractures) are common in the emergency department. The purpose of the study is to determine if there is any difference between 3 methods of immobilization for these fractures: circumferential cast, volar-dorsal splint, and modified sugar tong splint. Maintenance of position was assessed at 4 weeks after the injury and wrist strength and function were assessed at 2 months and 6 months. We hypothesize that there will not be a clinically important difference between these methods of immobilizing for displaced fractures of the distal radius requiring closed reduction. Extended description of the protocol, including information not already contained in other fields. Objectives: Primary: To determine the effectiveness of three immobilization methods (circumferential cast [CC], volar dorsal splint [VDS], modified sugar-tong [MST] splint) in maintaining the position of displaced distal radius fractures after successful closed reduction. Secondary to assess long term functional outcomes associated with fiberglass splint immobilization versus standard cylindrical casting in patients maintaining initial non-operative reductions. Design: Randomized prospective single blind controlled trial Patients/Participants: Patients over 18 years of age who presented to the emergency department with a displaced fracture of the distal radius, requiring closed reduction. Outcome Measurements: Loss of reduction (radiological slippage or the need for surgical fixation during the 3-4 week primary immobilization period after initial successful reduction). Secondary outcomes were DASH score, return to work, activities of daily living (ADL), wrist pain, range of motion (ROM) and grip strength.

Ultrasound Directed Reduction of Colles Type Distal Radial Fractures in ED (UDiReCT)

Radius Distal FractureColles' Fracture

This is a limited two centre randomized controlled feasibility trial towards a larger definitive trial designed to assess whether bed side ultrasound can reduce the rate of surgical fixation following emergency department manipulation of Colles' type wrist fractures. UDiReCT will mirror the proposed design of the definitive trial but will report feasibility data such as recruitment rate, data completeness and reliability of potential definitive trial outcome measures.

Compression Gloves for Distal Radius Fracture

Distal Radius FracturesFracture of Lower End of Radius2 more

Distal Radius Fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries. Rehabilitation may be characterized by pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion (hand and fingers), and grip strength. Compression gloves are used to enhance rehabilitation after various clinical conditions and injuries. However, there are no reports on the effect of compression gloves following Distal Radius Fracture (DRF). This study aims to assess the incremental effect of wearing Made-to-Measure Compression Gloves on rehabilitation following DRF. Working Hypothesis: The addition of Made-to-Measure Compression Gloves to routine follow up and treatment will enhance rehabilitation, when compared with routine follow up and treatment, in patients following Distal Radius Fracture. ICD 10, Version 2010, conditions to be included in the study (defined jointly as Distal Radius Fractures): S52.5 Fracture of lower end of radius (Colles' fracture, Smith's fracture) S52.6 Fracture of lower end of both ulna and radius S52.7 Multiple fractures of forearm Excl.: fractures of both ulna and radius: lower end (S52.6), shafts (S52.4). S52.8 Fracture of other parts of forearm (Lower end of ulna, Head of ulna)

Closed Kinetic Chain Exercise Versus Russian Current Stimulation in Rehabilitation of Colles' Fracture....

Distal Radius Fracture

This study compared the effects of closed kinetic chain exercise and Russian current stimulation on pain, functional disability, wrist range of motion (ROM) and grip strength in patients with colles' fracture. Forty five patients with stable colles' fractures are randomly classified into three groups with fifteen patients in each group; Group I received traditional exercise in the form of; Mobilization, stretching exercises, range of motion exercises (passive and active) and edema control of the wrist joint. Group II stimulated by electrical Russian current in addition to traditional exercise. Group III received closed kinetic chain exercise (wall press, plyometric wall push up, Quadruped rhythmic stabilization, and Push up exercises) plus traditional exercise. All outcome measures including Pain, function, Wrist ROM, and grip strength were evaluated before and after the treatment program.
