Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) approach with conventional methods in volar locking plate treatment for distal end radius fractures under the Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) technique. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the MIPO approach provide better pain control than the conventional approach of volar locking plate fixation in distal radius fractures under WALANT? Participants will be requested to record their pain on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), assess their functional scores, and undergo postoperative radiographic evaluations. Researchers will compare the MIPO group and the conventional group to determine the postoperative pain VAS scores, shedding light on the comparative effectiveness of the two approaches.

Detailed description

Gap of knowledge * No comparison of conventional Versus MIPO technique under WALANT * No result in acute post-operative pain
