Overview

Brief Summary

This research project is a multi-year proposal, with the goals of answering and evaluating the following:

Does an intramedullary locking device applied in an extra-articular distal radius fracture improve post operative pain, diminish hospitalization, improve early return to activity and function compared to a volar locked plate?
Does an intramedullary locking device applied in an extra-articular distal radius fracture improve patient related outcome measures compared to a volar locked plate?

Primary Outcomes

Change in Pain (to no pain)
