Colles' Fracture
Conditions
Brief summary
Colles' fracture is a common distal radius injury, often managed with closed reduction and Plaster of Paris (POP) casting. However, loss of alignment may occur with casting alone. Percutaneous K-wire fixation may improve fracture stability. This study aims to compare the functional outcomes of closed reduction with POP cast application versus closed reduction with K-wire fixation followed by POP cast application in the management of Colles' fractures.
Detailed description
This randomized controlled trial evaluates two commonly used treatment methods for Colles' fractures. Sixty participants were randomized into two groups: closed reduction with POP cast application, and closed reduction with percutaneous K-wire fixation followed by POP cast application. Follow-up assessments were scheduled to evaluate functional outcomes using the Gartland and Werley scoring system over a three-month period.
Interventions
