Forearm Shaft Fractures: Plating of Radius and Ulna Versus Plating of Radius and Nailing of Ulna

Prospective Randomized Trial for Forearm Shaft Fractures: Plating of Radius and Ulna vs. Plating of Radius and Nailing of Ulna

• Status: Terminated
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 13 (actual)
• Sponsor: Florida Orthopaedic Institute · Network
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The hypothesis is that intramedullary nailing of the ulna and plating of the radius will result in a superior outcome as evidenced by two primary end points: 1. a lower rate of implant pain 2. a lower re-operation rate to remove painful hardware.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized study to determine if intramedullary nailing of the ulna and plating of the radius is equal to, or superior to plating of both the radius and ulna for the treatment of both bone forearm fractures.

Conditions

• Fractures of Radius and Ulna

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	intramedullary nailing and plating	Surgical intramedullary nailing of the ulna and plating of the radius
PROCEDURE	plating	Surgical plating of both bonforearm fractures
