View clinical trials related to Distal Radius Fracture.
Filter by:Prospective data will be collected in approximately 3500 patients (700 per 5 injury groups). Patients will be followed up according to the standard (routine) for up to 1 year after the treatment. Data collection will include underlying disease, treatment details, patient reported outcomes (PROs), anticipated or procedure-related adverse events (i.e. complications), and radiological outcomes.
The purpose of this investigation is to compare functional outcome measures and range of motion for patients receiving glucocorticoid (GC) injections versus those not receiving GCs for the treatment of distal radius fractures. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive GC will have improved ROM and functional outcome measures compared to patients who do not receive GC. In addition, this study aims to determine if there is a difference in rates of complications and postoperative pain control between the GC and non-GC groups. In order to accomplish these aims, the investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, controlled investigation.
The study described herein is being conducted to collect clinical data associated with diagnosis and treatment information using the VolumeRAD advanced application.
The current status of the disease under study. Including natural history, disease prognosis. Distal radial fractures (DRF, distal radius fractures) are the most common fractures, allowing the user to lock the steel plate to accelerate the recovery of the wrist, but related injuries such as the triangular fibrocartilage cartilage complex (TFCC) tear or distal radius ulna joint (DRUJ) ligament tear with DRUJ instability requires time fixed or further repair surgery. If these issues are ignored, there will be weakness in the future. The ulnar shortening commonly used by hand surgeons is to improve the damage of TFCC or DRUJ instability. In the case of distal radial fracture combined with DRUJ instability, it is not clear that the distal radial fracture combined with DRUJ instability patients has long-term prognosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two drug options for pain control in patients following wrist injury. Participants will be randomized to one of the 2 pain relief treatments to determine what treatment provides the most effective pain relief
Occlusion training, resistance exercise performed with a specialized venous tourniquet, leads to beneficial changes in muscle strength at low resistance and minimal stress on the nearby joint. This novel resistance training has the potential to greatly improve muscle strength gains in individuals who are unable, for medical reasons, to perform the high resistance exercises typically required to improve strength. Our study will examine the effect of this technique on strength recovery following distal radius fracture treated with cast immobilization (non-operatively). The primary objective of the intervention is to achieve accelerated recovery of forearm, wrist and hand function as assessed using measures such as grip/pinch strength, validated questionnaires, and functional outcome testing. Occlusion training can potentially serve as a specialty intervention for rehabilitation patients, reduce the cost of care, and improve the treatment options for both patients and providers.
Nearly 2 out of 10 women will sustain a distal forearm fracture throughout their lifespan.Recent longitudinal studies illustrate that as many as 1/3 of all persons who undergo closed reduction and casting for distal radius fractures (DRF) go on to develop type 1 complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Graded motor imagery (i.e., motor imagery and mirror therapy), a movement representation technique, is strongly supported in the literature as a treatment of CRPS and has recently been suggested as a potential strategy to prevent its onset. Other complications include disability, wrist/forearm tightness and sensorimotor changes. The investigators propose that an early intervention protocol which includes graded motor imagery (GMI) will improve the pain, functional and upper limb sensorimotor outcomes of persons following closed reduction and casting of DRF relative to a standard of care intervention.
Background: Three dimensional (3D) digital pre-operative planning software for osteosynthesis of fractures was developed. To assess the usefulness of the 3D planning, we evaluated the accuracy of the reduction shapes and selected implants in the patients with distal radius fractures. Methods: Thirty wrists of 30 distal radius fracture patients who underwent osteosynthesis using volar locking plates were evaluated. Fifteen wrists were treated with 3D preoperative planning as the plan group. The other fifteen wrists were treated with conventional preoperative planning as the control group. Volar tilt and radial inclination were measured after operation and compared with the healthy side wrist. In addition, preoperative planning and postoperative reductions were compared by measuring the volar tilt and radial inclination of the 3D images in the plan group. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) values of the radiological parameters between healthy side wrists and injured side wrists, between preoperative planning and postoperative reductions were evaluated. For the accuracy of the implant choices, the ICCs for the screw lengths between the preoperative plan and the actual choices were evaluated in the plan group.

This novel resistance training has the potential to greatly improve muscle strength gains in individuals who are unable, for medical reasons, to perform the high resistance exercises typically required to improve strength. Our study will examine the effect of this technique on strength recovery following distal radius fracture repair.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound guided hematoma block versus traditional "blind" hematoma block for analgesia in distal radius fracture reduction.
