Bandage vs. Rigid Immobilization for Torus Fractures of the Wrist in Children .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Immobilisation of torus fractures of the wrist in children (FORCE): a randomised controlled equivalence trial in the UK
Lancet. 2022 Jul 2;400(10345): 39-47.Nine hundred and sixty-five pediatric patients were randomized to receive either a bandage (n=489) or a splint for rigid immobilization (n=476) for the treatment of distal torus fractures of the wrist. The primary outcome of this trial was pain intensity after 3 days using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Secondary outcomes included functional recovery measured via the Patient Report Outcomes Measurement System Upper Extremity Score for Children Computer Adaptive Test, health-related quality of life via the EuroQol 3-level EQ-5DY questionnaire, and satisfaction via a 7-item Likert scale. Equivalence was apparent at 3 days and over the course of the 6-week follow-up period, with regard to pain intensity. No safety concerns were reported for both groups.
