- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome of this study is the number of X-rays made to guide the<br /><br>treatment on the emergency care. This will correspond directly to the times<br /><br>reduction is attempted. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary study parameters are an analysis of costs, need to perform surgery<br /><br>and the function of the wrist in everyday life 16 weeks after the fracture.<br /><br>The costs will be analysed 16 weeks after the fracture and consist of costs for<br /><br>outpatient clinic visits, costs of material used (casts etc), diagnostic costs<br /><br>(X-ray, CT-scan).<br /><br>The need for surgery will be a simple 'yes' or 'no' outcome.<br /><br>The function of the wrist in everyday life will be assessed using the Dutch<br /><br>translation of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH)<br /><br>questionnaire. The questionnaire contains 30 questions and 8 optional<br /><br>questions. A score between 0 and 100 will result from these questions.</p><br>
