Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Radiological outcome: X-rays at varying timepoints until union of the fracture. Various measures will be performed on these X-rays to ascertain the anatomical end point. 2. Clinical outcome: A detailed clinical examination at varying time points, measuring the objective end point with respect to range of movement, grip strength and complications will be recorded. A questionnaire to measure the subjective end point will be completed by the patient.	—
