About

This is a randomized clinical trial of two parallel arms, aiming to compare two rehabilitation interventions: an experimental intervention including telemedicine support and remote monitoring of compliance of usual indicated exercises, versus the usual protocol of indicated exercises supported by printed material (triptych) and without remote monitoring

Full description

Distal radius fracture is a common pathology. The surgical indication is given by the difficulty in obtaining fracture reduction or by the instability of the fracture. The long-term functional prognosis of the wrist depends largely on patients' adherence to the prescribed indications/exercises in the immediate postoperative phase.

This is a randomized clinical trial of two parallel arms, aiming to compare two rehabilitation interventions: an experimental intervention including telemedicine support and remote monitoring of compliance of usual indicated exercises, versus the usual protocol of indicated exercises supported by printed material (triptych) and without remote monitoring.
