2. total amound of costs
3. patients limitations, difference in DASH score between point 0 and 16 weeks after inclusion
Background summary
The goal of this study is to research the clinical value of ultrasound guided reduction of a dorsally angulated distal radius fracture. Ultrasound guided reduction of a dorsally angulated distal radius fracture is expected to reduce the number of attempts necessary to achieve an adequate position of the fracture and it is expected to improve the function of the wrist in long term. This study will be conducted in the Zuyderland Medical Centre in Heerlen, the Netherlands. It is a randomised single blinded study. Participants in the interventiongroup will recieve an ultrasound guided approach to reduce the fracture. Participants in the control group will recieve the current 'blind' technique of reducing the fracture.
Study objective
Ultrasound guided reduction of dorsally angulated distal radius fractures will reduce the amount of attemps necessary to achieve an acceptable result compared to the standard blind procedure
Study design
1-2-2016: start inclusion
1-1-2017: stop inclusions and finish dataset
1-4-2017: statistical analysis of results
1-5-2017: writing and rewriting article
Intervention
Use of ultrasound during reduction of a distal radius fracture to assess the position of bony parts during reduction (which allows rapid correction) and not only after reduction with conventional X-ray imaging
