A randomized, prospective comparison of volar locked plating versus Hoffman II bridging external fixation supplemented by K-wire fixation in patients with comminuted distal radius fractures, AO/OTA type C2 \& C3.
Hypothesis:
There is no significant difference in using volar plates compared to Hoffman II bridging external fixation supplemented by K-wire fixation in patients with comminuted distal radius fractures, AO/OTA type C2 \& C3 as evaluated by a Quick-DASH score at 24 months follow-up.
We have designed a randomized, prospective study for comparison of volar locked plating versus Hoffman II bridging external fixation supplemented by K-wire fixation in patients with comminuted distal radius fractures, AO/OTA type C2 \& C3. On the basis of power analysis a total of 140 patients are to be included in this project. The follow-up period is 2 years and evaluation is based on x-ray analysis, grip strength, range of movement, pain and various tools to measure quality of life and satisfaction with the treatment (EQ-5d, SF-36, Quick-DASH).
272 studies on the registry are indexed under Radius Fractures; 35 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 166 is above the median of 60 across 45 observational studies indexed under Radius Fractures.
