Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing the Effect of Dexamethasone on Postoperative Function After Distal Radius Fixation
October 19, 2023 updated by: Northwell Health
Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing the Effect of Intraoperative Dexamethasone in the Management of Postoperative Analgesia and Stiffness After Distal Radius Fixation
The study is designed to assess the use of intraoperative dexamethasone on postoperative analgesia and stiffness after open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures.
The idea is that the dexamethasone will aid in reducing postoperative swelling which will then improve pain control as well as overall function.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient rated wrist evaluation
Time Frame: 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
15-item questionnaire designed to measure wrist pain and disability in activities of daily living.
PWRE will be assessed at multiple time point to assess for change in the score.
The higher the score, the more function exhibited.
|
48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Finger-to-palm distance
Time Frame: 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
Objective measure to quantify stiffness.
This is measured by measuring the distance from the tip of the third finger to the palm during attempted creation of a fist.
FTP will be measured at multiple time points to assess for change.
|
48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
Visual analog scale
Time Frame: 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
Validated, subjective measure for pain.
Measured on a 10 point scale, 0 being no pain and 10 being maximum pain.
VAS will be evaluated at multiple time points to assess for change.
|
48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
Total opioid consumption
Time Frame: 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
|
Measuring total opioid consumption postoperatively.
This will be measured by self reported mechanism.
Assessed at multiple time points to assess for change.
|
48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks
