Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The median time of radiographic healing0-14 weeksA score of 13 by Modified Radiographic Union Scale for Tibia fractures (mRUST) scoring system would provide a confident assessment of union

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeksA 15-item questionnaire(PRWE) that rates wrist-related pain and disability in functional activities. The scores range from 0 (no disability) to 100 (severest disability).
Grip strength6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 weeksGrip strength will be assessed by a dynamometer.
