Computer Assisted Planing of Corrective Osteotomy for Distal Radius Malunion

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Extraarticular Distal Radius Malunion

• Registration Number: NCT01193010
• Lead Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital

Brief Summary

This study is designed as a multi-center randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups of patients with symptomatic extra-articular malunited distal radius fractures. One group of patients will undergo corrective surgery of the distal radius, with preoperative computer-assisted planning and virtual osteotomy, and the other group will undergo corrective surgery, with conventional (non-computer-assisted) preoperative planning. The investigators hypothesize that computer-assisted surgical planning will result in a better functional outcome.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Disability of the Shoulder and Hand Score	0, 3, 6, 12 months	DASH score is a measure of upper extremity function. It ranges 0-100, where higher scores indication more disability and worse upper extremity function.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PWRE_	0, 3, 6, 12 months	PRWE score is a measure of wrist function. It ranges 0-100, where higher scores indication more disability and worse wrist function.
Numerical Rating Scale for Satisfaction	0, 3, 6, 12 months	Satisfaction rated on a scale of 0-10, where 0 is not satisfied and 10 is completely satisfied
Numerical Rating Scale for Pain	0, 3, 6, 12 months	Pain rated on a scale of 0-10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is severe pain
