Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the results for same-day discharge after distal radius operative fixation in adult pupolation. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is same day discharge safe and effective for distal radius fractures? Are the functional and patient reported outcome measures results different between same day discharge and hospitalized patients? Researchers will compare same day discharge patients with jospitalized patients to see if there are any differences between the groups
Participants will:
- undergo surgery
- atend outpatient clinical follow up visits
- answer dedicated questioneres
