Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of early therapy in 14 patients with a distal radius fracture DRF resulting from injury, as the study group. Assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method (ORIF), compared to their nonoperated limb, after 6 months of early rehabilitation.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Significantly faster recovery of independence from daily activities by the patient.
- For economic reasons, patients often expect to return to work as soon as possible.
Participants will be subjected to functional examination to assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Grip strength
Time Frame: 1 day
Using a hydraulic handgrip dynamometer by Saehan according to the procedure to measure grip strength
DASH -Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand
Time Frame: 1 day
questionnaire assesses upper limb disability and consists of 30 questions in the general section and an additional work module with 4 questions and a sport/instrument playing module with 4 questions. Assess symptoms and the inability to perform certain activities based on health status.
ROM - range of motion
Time Frame: 1 day
Flexion, extension of the wrist, supination and pronation of the forearm using a 15 cm stainless steel Saehan finger goniometer
Isokinetic evaluation
Time Frame: 1 day
Isokinetic evaluation of force moments of the biceps and triceps, and the muscles responsible for supination and pronation of the forearm using the Biodex System 4 Pro (Biodex, USA) dynamometer.
