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.
This study To evaluate the result of using spanning bridge plate in comminuted distal radius fractures.
A single center randomized control study. Patients >18 years with isolated distal radius fractures treated non-operatively will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group (exercise of contralateral "well" arm) or control group (standard fracture care and rehabilitation).
This study evaluates the influence of cost information on decision-making for immobilization for treatment of distal radial buckle fractures. Half of the participants will receive cost information from an orthopaedic surgeon prior to making their decision for treatment, while the other half will receive cost information from another member of the study team after they had made their decision treatment.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that increases the risk of fractures. People aged 50-65 diagnosed with osteoporosis feel too young to have the disease. But this happens. They need to learn how to modify their lifestyle to minimize the chances of fractures. In this age group, a wrist fracture is usually the first sign of osteoporosis. Fracture risk increases if they are not taught to exercise, eat properly, and identifies fall risk factors early in their diagnosis. Some studies have looked at interventions for osteoporosis in women over the age of 65, but by this age they have likely already had a spine fracture. No studies have addressed the early-onset osteoporosis age group, intervening before spine fractures occur. I will develop an exercise, nutrition, and falls prevention education program to improve the strength, balance and knowledge of people aged 50-65 who had an osteoporotic wrist fracture. I will use this treatment approach and determine if it is more effective than the usual way of treating people with wrist fractures, determining if this is a better strategy for managing osteoporosis. I will have two groups of patients. First, those, over six weeks, receive twice weekly classes that include exercise and education. Here the focus is on bone health and fracture prevention. The control will receive usual physical therapy and the educational materials at the end of their study participation. The treatment will be randomly allocated to 74 men and women between the ages of 50-65 years of age who are 6-10 weeks post-fracture. The outcomes on both groups will be assessed and compared. I will focus on hand function, balance, fall hazard detection, and a bone health behaviour checklist. Using these outcomes, I can determine which treatment approach works best. Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men, making this an important study to improve the lives for many Canadians. The risk of osteoporosis fractures increases with age, making early interventions critical.
This study is performed to evaluate the outcome of conservative treatment after distal radius fractures in patients of 65 years or older at the time of the injury, primarily with respect to the prognostic value of the Adolfsson-score for the functional demands of the patient on his hand.
The study would like show that patients who follow a protocol with GMI are less probability to develop CRPS
This is a prospective observational single cohort trial quantifying time to radiographic union (primary endpoint) and convenience, satisfaction, pain and resource requirements (secondary) for patients with non-operatively treated distal radius fractures managed with a thermoformable Exos short-arm brace.
Rehabilitation following wrist fractures often includes exercising flexion-extension. However, during daily functions, our wrist moves through an oblique plane, named the Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) plane. This plane might be a more stable plane in cases of wrist injuries, since the proximal carpal row remains relatively immobile. However, rehabilitation programs that incorporate exercising in the DTM plane have yet to be explored. The researchers aimed to evaluate the rehabilitation outcomes following treatment in the DTM plane compared with outcomes following treatment in the sagittal plane after Distal Radius Fracture (DRFs). Twenty four subjects following internal fixation of DRFs were randomly assigned into a research group . The range of motion, pain levels and functional tests were measured before and after an intervention of 12 treatment sessions. The control group activated the wrist in the sagittal plane while the research group activated the wrist in the DTM plane, via a DTM orthosis.
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.
