Early Functional Outcomes After Closed Reduction With Pinning Versus Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Wrist Fractures

Early Functional Outcomes After Closed Reduction Percutaneous Pinning vs. Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: —

• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare early return to function in patients treated with closed reduction percutaneous pinning and open reduction internal fixation in displaced fractures of the distal radius. Hypothesis: Wrist range of motion, grip strength and outcome at 2-3 months after injury are better in patients treated with open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) than in patients treated with closed reduction percutaneous pinning techniques (CRPP). In addition patients treated with ORIF return to work at faster rates.
