- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome measure is the PRWE (Patient Related Wrist Evaluation)<br /><br>score after one year.<br /><br><br /><br>PRWE score is the most responsive instrument for evaluating the outcome in<br /><br>patients with distal radius fractures. The PRWE is a validated 15-item (scored<br /><br>1-10), self-reported questionnaire designed to help describe the disability<br /><br>experienced by people with disorders of the wrist and also to monitor changes<br /><br>in symptoms and function over time. Scores will be transformed to a 0-100<br /><br>score. A higher score indicates greater disability. </p><br>
