Predicting Outcomes of Distal Radius Fractures: a Surgeon Survey

Completed

• Conditions: Distal Radius Fractures; Survey; Distal Radius Fracture

• Registration Number: NCT05942950
• Lead Sponsor: JointResearch

Brief Summary

The goal of this surgeon survey is to find out if orthopedic and trauma surgeons can predict outcomes in older adults with distal radius fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can orthopedic and trauma surgeons effectively predict which treatment would benefit a patient the most in terms of good outcome versus poor outcome (based on Δ PRWE) following casting or surgical treatment for displaced intra-articular distal radius fractures?

* What are the perspectives of trauma surgeons and orthopedic surgeons on current literature?

* What factors direct trauma surgeons and orthopedic surgeons to surgery?
