Name Time Method 1. Study the healing of distal radius fractures in terms of calculated bone strength based on the results of cortical and trabecular bone parameters using HR-pQCT and to develop a computer based model for fracture healing;<br /><br>2. Compare the effect of immediate administration of two dosages of vitamin D3 vs. standard care on fracture healing in terms of functional outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
