Clinical Trial: Timing of Bridge Plate Removal and Distal Radius Fracture Outcomes
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Distal Radius Fracture
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Timing of Bridge Plate Removal and Distal Radius Fracture Outcomes: A Multicenter Randomized, Controlled Trial
Brief 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…
