Post-operative Immobilization and Physical Therapy Following Volar Locked Plating for Distal Radius Fractures: Are They Necessary?

Brief description of study

188 patients treated for distal radius fractures with open reduction internal fixation using volar locked plating will be split into two study groups: a group that is immobilized in a splint post operatively and given formal physical therapy and a group that does not receive either of these post operative interventions. The primary outcome will be loss of fixation. Secondary outcomes will include pain, cost, PROMs, range of motion, grip strength. Data will be recorded at the pre-operative visit, as well as at post-operative visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months.
