And if they are more comfortable to begin his rehabilitation exercise after the application of this therapy

NCT ID: NCT02494011 Completed - Clinical trials for Distal Radius Fracture

Closed Kinetic Chain Exercise Versus Russian Current Stimulation in Rehabilitation of Colles' Fracture.

Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study compared the effects of closed kinetic chain exercise and Russian current stimulation on pain, functional disability, wrist range of motion (ROM) and grip strength in patients with colles' fracture. Forty five patients with stable colles' fractures are randomly classified into three groups with fifteen patients in each group; Group I received traditional exercise in the form of; Mobilization, stretching exercises, range of motion exercises (passive and active) and edema control of the wrist joint. Group II stimulated by electrical Russian current in addition to traditional exercise. Group III received closed kinetic chain exercise (wall press, plyometric wall push up, Quadruped rhythmic stabilization, and Push up exercises) plus traditional exercise. All outcome measures including Pain, function, Wrist ROM, and grip strength were evaluated before and after the treatment program.

NCT ID: NCT02396277 Suspended - Clinical trials for Distal Radius Fracture

Structural and Functional Nerve Changes Following Immobilisation After Distal Radius Fracture - a Pilot Study (NRP)

NRP
Start date: March 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Immobilization after radius fracture seems to increase the risk of developing a Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a condition associated with pain, increased skin sensitivity and reduced epidermal nerve density. The purpose of the study is to determine whether 5-week immobilisation leads to functional and structural sensory changes, and whether the changes are associated with persistent pain. The investigators plan an explorative, pilot study on six consenting patients immobilised after a distal radius fracture. The baseline measurements will be recorded at the day of or the day after trauma: Demographics, psychological and physical comorbidity, pain characteristics and intensity, hand function, health related quality of life (HRQOL), quantitative sensory testing will be recorded while skin biopsies are analyzed for epidermal nerve fiber density. Following variables such as pain characteristics and intensity, hand function, health related quality of life, quantitative sensory testing and skin biopsies will be reassessed when the cast is removed and two months later.

NCT ID: NCT02353065 Recruiting - Colles' Fracture Clinical Trials

Sonographic Assessment of Reduction in Colles' Fracture

SONAR
Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Colles fractures are a common type of wrist fracture that often requires manipulation in the Emergency Department. Currently xrays are used to assess whether this has been successful, which are done once the plaster cast has been applied. This study will assess whether ultrasound can be used immediately after the manipulation to check the position, before the plaster cast is applied. This would then be followed by an xray as normal. The aim is to assess the feasibility of a full study to determine which method is faster, causes less pain, and also to assess if either approach reduces the need for repeat attempts at manipulation and surgical repair.

NCT ID: NCT02348437 Completed - Radius Fractures Clinical Trials

Repair vs Non-repair of the Pronator Quadratus Muscle in Distal Radius Fractures. RCT.

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the functional outcome of repairing the pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle in subjects operated for a distal radius fracture (DRF) with volar locked plating.

NCT ID: NCT01606540 Completed - Colles Fracture Clinical Trials

Non-steroid Antiinflammatory Drugs to Heal Colles Fracture

Start date: June 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is believed that some painkillers (NSAID drugs) slow bone healing but the knowledge is based only on experimental studies with animals whose results are automatically translated for humans. The purpose is to examine whether these drugs slow bone healing and what relationship there is between different bone examinations, scan for osteoporosis, bone marker laboratory tests, radiological controls and histology of newly formed bone under a microscope.

NCT ID: NCT01561573 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Point of Care Ultrasound

Ultrasound Assisted Distal Radius Fracture Reduction

Start date: April 2012
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

PURPOSE: to evaluate the utility of bedside ultrasound performed by emergency physicians in the evaluation and reduction of colles fractures as compared with traditional pre and post reduction radiographs. With the objectives of assessing Emergency Ultrasounds (EU) utility in guiding reduction attempts of Colles fractures and to compare EU to x-ray for the final assessment of reduction adequacy.

NCT ID: NCT01518179 Completed - Clinical trials for Distal Radius Fractures

Compression Gloves for Distal Radius Fracture

Start date: April 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Distal Radius Fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries. Rehabilitation may be characterized by pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion (hand and fingers), and grip strength. Compression gloves are used to enhance rehabilitation after various clinical conditions and injuries. However, there are no reports on the effect of compression gloves following Distal Radius Fracture (DRF). This study aims to assess the incremental effect of wearing Made-to-Measure Compression Gloves on rehabilitation following DRF. Working Hypothesis: The addition of Made-to-Measure Compression Gloves to routine follow up and treatment will enhance rehabilitation, when compared with routine follow up and treatment, in patients following Distal Radius Fracture. ICD 10, Version 2010, conditions to be included in the study (defined jointly as Distal Radius Fractures): S52.5 Fracture of lower end of radius (Colles' fracture, Smith's fracture) S52.6 Fracture of lower end of both ulna and radius S52.7 Multiple fractures of forearm Excl.: fractures of both ulna and radius: lower end (S52.6), shafts (S52.4). S52.8 Fracture of other parts of forearm (Lower end of ulna, Head of ulna)

NCT ID: NCT00704743 Completed - Colles' Fracture Clinical Trials

A Trial Comparing Circumferential Casting Versus Splinting in Displaced Colles' Fractures

Start date: November 1998
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Displaced fractures of the distal radius requiring closed reduction (otherwise known as Colles fractures) are common in the emergency department. The purpose of the study is to determine if there is any difference between 3 methods of immobilization for these fractures: circumferential cast, volar-dorsal splint, and modified sugar tong splint. Maintenance of position was assessed at 4 weeks after the injury and wrist strength and function were assessed at 2 months and 6 months. We hypothesize that there will not be a clinically important difference between these methods of immobilizing for displaced fractures of the distal radius requiring closed reduction. Extended description of the protocol, including information not already contained in other fields. Objectives: Primary: To determine the effectiveness of three immobilization methods (circumferential cast [CC], volar dorsal splint [VDS], modified sugar-tong [MST] splint) in maintaining the position of displaced distal radius fractures after successful closed reduction. Secondary to assess long term functional outcomes associated with fiberglass splint immobilization versus standard cylindrical casting in patients maintaining initial non-operative reductions. Design: Randomized prospective single blind controlled trial Patients/Participants: Patients over 18 years of age who presented to the emergency department with a displaced fracture of the distal radius, requiring closed reduction. Outcome Measurements: Loss of reduction (radiological slippage or the need for surgical fixation during the 3-4 week primary immobilization period after initial successful reduction). Secondary outcomes were DASH score, return to work, activities of daily living (ADL), wrist pain, range of motion (ROM) and grip strength.

NCT ID: NCT00631267 Terminated - Colles' Fracture Clinical Trials

CoNCReTe-trial: Colles Fractures, Determining the Norm in Closed Reduction Techniques

CoNCReTe
Start date: July 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Rationale: Many different closed techniques are used to reduce a dorsally dislocated distal radius fracture (Colles' fracture). One trial to compare two main techniques (finger-trap traction and manual manipulation) did not find significant difference in radiological and clinical outcome (Earnshaw 2002). This trial aims to investigate patient and medical satisfaction between both techniques Objective: To demonstrate patient satisfaction (pain, duration, general) and medical satisfaction (difficulty of reposition). It is suggested that finger-trap traction causes less pain for patients and is more easy than manual manipulation but have the same radiological and clinical outcome. Study design: Randomised controlled intervention study Study population: 300 Patients with newly diagnosed closed distal radius fractures with dorsal angulation (Colles' fracture) older than 16years coming to the Emergency Medical Department. Intervention: One group is put in finger-trap traction (digitus 1-3) for 10minutes with 4-5kg of ballast on their upper arm followed by reduction by dorsal pressure. The other group is manually reduced according to Charnley with traction and "hooking over" of the fracture elements. Main study parameters/endpoints: Visual analogue scale of patient and medical satisfaction, percentage of successful primary reductions. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Apart for the regular follow-up of patients with distal radius fractures,one extra out-patient visit is necessary to assess functional outcome after three months.Finger-trap traction has a (theoretical) risk of causing traumatic damage to ligaments of the fingers, but this risk is in our opinion not higher than in the manual manipulation. It is expected that the finger-trap traction group is more satisfied because this technique seems less traumatic than but as successful as the manual manipulation group.
