Brief Summary:
Three weeks of cast immobilisation versus one week of brace immobilisation in non- or minimally displaced distal radius fractures in adult patients 50 years of age treated non-operatively
Detailed Description:
Background Currently non- or minimally displaced distal radius fractures are treated by three to five weeks of cast immobilisation Many patients with a distal radius fracture suffer from long-term functional restrictions which might be related to stiffness due to cast immobilisation Current literature indicates that one week of immobilisation might be safe however no level one evidence is available This trial aims to compare one week of brace immobilisation with three weeks of cast immobilisation in patients with distal radius fractures that do not need reduction
Methods The aim of this trial is to evaluate the non-inferiority of one week of brace immobilisation in patients with non- or minimally displaced distal radius fractures A single blinded multicentre randomised clinical trial will be conducted in three hospitals Adult patients between 18-50 years old independent for activities of daily living with a non- or minimally displaced distal radius fracture can be included in this study The intervention group is treated with one week of brace immobilisation and the control group with three weeks of cast immobilisation Primary outcome is the Patient-Related Wrist Evaluation-score at six months Secondary outcomes are Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand-score at six weeks and six months PRWE at six weeks range of motion pain radiological outcome complications and cost effectiveness measured by the EuroQol 5 Dimension questionnaire Medical Consumption Questionnaire and Productivity Cost Questionnaire
Discussion This study will provide evidence on the optimal period of immobilisation in non-operatively treated displaced and reduced distal radius fractures Both treatment options are accepted treatment protocols and both treatment options have a low risk of complications Follow-up will be according to the current treatment protocol This study will provide level one evidence on the optimal period and way of immobilisation for non- or minimally displaced distal radius fractures in adult patients
