About this study
Official title: Outpatient vs. Inpatient Surgery for Distal Radius Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the results for same-day discharge after distal radius operative fixation in adult pupolation. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is same day discharge safe and effective for distal radius fractures? Are the functional and patient reported outcome measures results different between same day discharge and hospitalized patients? Researchers will compare same day discharge patients with jospitalized patients to see if there are any differences between the groups
Participants will:
- undergo surgery
- atend outpatient clinical follow up visits
- answer dedicated questioneres
- Conditions
- Distal Radius Fracture Fixation
- Being tested
- early release from hospital, Day after surgery release
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
early release from hospitalProcedure or surgery
Same day discharge of patients undergoing distal radius operative fixation
Day after surgery releaseProcedure or surgery
release of patients one day after surgery
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Same-day-discharge | Experimental | Not described Receives: Procedure: early release from hospital |
| Hospitalized | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Procedure: Day after surgery release |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire,
A self-report tool (0-100) measuring upper limb function, where higher scores mean more disability,
Measured: from surgery to one year after
