Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. Functional outcome measured with the PRWE questionnnaire;
2. objective functional parameters: Grip strength
and range of motion;
3. amount of redislocation as measured on control X-rays.
Secondary outcome
1. Occurrence of sudeck's dystrophy;
2. Pain during treatment;
3. occurence of secondary operative treatment.
Background summary
This randomized, controlled, prospective study will compare conservative treatment of displaced distal radius fractures with a plaster cast in a neutral position against a cast with the wrist 20 degrees dorsiflexed. Functional outcome and redislocation are objectively assesed.
Study objective
Conservative conservative treatment of displaced wrist fractures with a cast in which the wrist is 20 degrees dorsiflexed is better than a neutral position in terms of re-dislocation and functional outcome.
Study design
1 week: radiologic control, VAS-score to evaluate pain;
6 weeks, objective functional parameters: Grip strength and range of motion, VAS score and assess occurence of Dystrophy;
3 months and 6 months: subjective and objective functional outcome.
Intervention
Conservative treatment with a plaster cast.
