Non-bridging Radio-radial Fixator Compared to Percutaneous Pinning for Unstable Distal Radius Fracture. A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Hopital de l'Enfant-Jesus·interventional·Posted May 27, 2009·Updated Mar 1, 2011

In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Radio-radial fixator and Percutaneous pinning for Radius Fractures. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The treatment of extra-articular distal radius fractures is still controversial. In Canada, most patients with unstable fractures are treated with pinning and cast. Results are often associated with shortening and lack of function. The purpose of the study is to compare stabilization with a radio-radial fixator to the usual method, suggesting that the radio-radial fixator will provide more strength at 6 months follow-up.

Interventions

Radio-radial fixatorprocedure

Using the Distal Radius Fixator from Synthes. A single splint for 5 days.

Percutaneous pinningprocedure

Insert two K-wires in the distal radius, one in the fracture line dorsally and one from the styloid. A cast for 6 weeks.
