Range of Motion and Patients With Distal Radius Fractures
The Effect of Early vs. Delayed Range of Motion in the Outcome of Patients With Distal Radius Fractures
Hypothesis : Early active range of motion protocol after open reduction and internal fixation of a distal radius fracture with a volar fixed angle locking plate results in earlier return of functional motion, earlier return to work and improved functional outcomes compared delayed mobilization.
Specific Aim:
To compare early range of motion versus delayed motion protocol in distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation with a volar fixed angle locking plate with respect to time to fracture union, range of motion, functional outcome measures, return to work and complications.

- Masking: None (Open Label)
Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Early
Participants randomized to this arm will begin physical therapy of their fractured wrist approximately one week following surgery
|
Physical therapy to instruct participant with exercises to assist in return to normal activities following the healing of their wrist fracture
|
Other: Delayed
Participants randomized to this group will begin physical therapy of their fractured wrist approximately 6 weeks from their surgery.
This is the approximate time frame in which therapy begins for patients not involved in the study.
The term Delayed refers to therapy being delayed in starting from those in the study who begin therapy at one week post-operatively, not a delay in current care practice.
