NCT ID: NCT01123447 Active, not recruiting - Surgery Clinical Trials

Surgical Treatment Versus Non-surgical Treatment of Ulnar Fractures

Start date: July 2, 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if surgery using a plate and screws to fix a forearm fracture (ulnar shaft) will improve functional outcome compared to non-operative treatment out to 1 year of follow-up. It is hypothesized that in skeletally mature patients with isolated ulnar shaft fractures, the patients treated with surgery will have improved functional outcomes compared to non-surgical treatment with below-elbow cast at 1-year follow-up. This will be measured by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores. Secondary outcomes will include SF-36, range of motion, pain, grip strength, return to work, and time to union.
