Clinical Trial Summary

This study's goal is to evaluate whether blood flow restriction supplemented therapy is a superior therapy compared to traditional standard of care while recovering from a surgery that repairs distal radius fractures. In order to measure this, subjects will be randomly assigned to either the traditional therapy group (with standard of care) or a blood flow restriction supplemented therapy group. All patients involved in this study will have had a distal radius fracture that is repaired with a technique called volar plating and the procedure will be done via an open technique. All subjects will be asked to fill out questionnaires that assess their pain and wrist functionality throughout the course of the study. These measurements will help understand whether the supplemented therapy is effective at reducing pain and improving functionality for patients who are recovering from this injury.
