Inmobilization With Compression Bandage vs Antebraquial Splint in Distal Radius Fractures

Inmobilization With Compression Bandage vs Antebraquial Splint in Distal Radius Fractures Operated by Internal Fixation With Volar Locking Plate: A Pilot Study

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 120 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Hospital Costa del Sol · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare functional and radiological results in two groups of distal radius fractures treated with internal fixation with locking plate, and immobilized with antebrachial splint or compression bandage for 3 weeks.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is to compare functional and radiological results as well as to evaluate possible complications in distal radius fractures operated by open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plate in two groups , one treated with immobilization using a forearm cast for 3 weeks and the other with immobilization using a compression bandage for 3 weeks, based on the hypothesis that compression bandage group could obtain better results in the short term, and none of the treatments is superior to the other after 3 or 6 months of evolution, as indicated by some reviewed studies.
