Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures in Elderly Patients

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to create and test a treatment algorithm to guide the treatment of distal radius fractures in patients 65 and older and to obtain level-one evidence to determine the best method of treating distal radius fractures in this growing population demographic.

Clinical Trial Description

- Distal radius fractures with borderline alignment will be randomized to surgical intervention or conservative treatment.

- Patients will fill out subjective questionnaires at 0, 6weeks, 3months, 6 months, and 1 year.

- Patients will perform objective strength tests, dexterity tests and have their range of motion tested at 12 weeks, 6 months and 12 months. ;
