MIPO Versus Conventional Approach in Volar Locking Plate for Close Fractures Distal End Radius Under WALANT

Radius; Fracture, Lower or Distal End Clinical Trial

Official title: Clinical Results of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis Versus Conventional Approach in Volar Locking Plate for Close Fractures of Distal End Radius Under WALANT

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) approach with conventional methods in volar locking plate treatment for distal end radius fractures under the Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) technique. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the MIPO approach provide better pain control than the conventional approach of volar locking plate fixation in distal radius fractures under WALANT? Participants will be requested to record their pain on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), assess their functional scores, and undergo postoperative radiographic evaluations. Researchers will compare the MIPO group and the conventional group to determine the postoperative pain VAS scores, shedding light on the comparative effectiveness of the two approaches.
