Radius Fracture

Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of early therapy in 14 patients with a distal radius fracture DRF resulting from injury, as the study group. Assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method (ORIF), compared to their nonoperated limb, after 6 months of early rehabilitation.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Significantly faster recovery of independence from daily activities by the patient.
2. For economic reasons, patients often expect to return to work as soon as possible.

Participants will be subjected to functional examination to assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method.

Enrollment: 15 patients

Trial design

15 participants in 1 patient group

patients with a distal radius fracture

Description:

Functional examination included evaluating range of motion (ROM), grip strength, and isokinetic evaluation of force moments (Biodex) for wrist flexion, extension, forearm pronation, and forearm supination. Michigan's questionnaire and the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire were used to subjectively evaluate the effects of therapy.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Functional examination
