Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two different fixationmethods for fractures of the wrist(distal radius fractures). We are comparing an external fixation (Hoffmann-II-non-bridging) vs. an internal fixation(Micronail). Primary endpoint is patient satisfaction as scored by the DASH-questionnaire.Secondary followup is X-rays, strength, PRWE-questionnaire.
Interventions
PROCEDUREOsteosynthesis
1. Micronail osteosynthesis. A cast for the first 14 days, thereafter starting physiotherapy. Control at weeks 1,2,5,12. 2. Hoffmann-II-non-bridging osteosynthesis. Removal of device after 5 weeks. physiotherapy starts at 14 days. Control at weeks 1,2,5,12.
