Filter by:Given that: 1) various clinical complications may arise from a misdiagnosed scaphoid fracture; and 2) clinical and radiographic diagnosis of scaphoid fracture is often challenging, particularly at the time of presentation, this study aims to evaluate whether the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the investigation of patients presenting with a suspected scaphoid fracture, with negative findings from the initial conventional radiography (4-view plain x-ray), leads to improved levels of efficiency, quality of care and patient experience. This study is a single centre randomised, non-blinded, prospective study. Participants will be randomised, following the initial negative conventional radiography, to either: no further imaging at A&E (consistent with current clinical practice); or 2) wrist MRI. The study considers a follow-up period of 6 months.
This pilot study aims to test the feasibility and work flows associated with using MRI as the initial imaging modality in the investigation of patients presenting with suspected scaphoid fracture. This pilot will be used to inform the design of a study that will aim to evaluate whether the proposed intervention is likely to generate cost-savings whilst improving or maintaining overall patient quality of life and satisfaction.
The aim of this study is to compare the time to return to previous activity level between operative treatment and non-operative cast immobilization of patients with an acute complete fracture of the middle part of the scaphoid, without any dislocation or comminution visible CT-scan.
