Official Title: Outcome Study of Complex Distal Radius Fractures: Open Reduction Internal Fixation With A Volar Fixed Angled Plate Vs. A Distal Radius Volar (DRV) Plate Vs. External Fixation
Further Study Details:
Expected Total Enrollment: 120
Study start: April 2001; Expected completion: December 2006
Complex distal radius fractures are a common problem treated by orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcome between complex distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a volar fixed angled plate versus and external fixator versus DVR. The hypothesis is that the volar fixed angled plate will have a superior outcome both radiographically and clinically.
