Comparison of rehabilitation interventions in nonoperatively treated distal radius fractures: a randomized controlled trial of effectiveness

Bone Joint J. 2021 Jun;103-B(6): 1033-1039.

One hundred and twenty patients with non-operatively treated distal radius fractures were randomized to receive 6 weeks of rehabilitation therapy delivered via an advice leaflet (n=40), advice video (n=40), or face-to-face therapy (n=40). The primary outcome of interest was the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score at 6 weeks. Secondary outcomes of interest included the DASH work score (for those in employment), grip strength, and range of motion. Outcomes were assessed at 6 weeks and 1 year follow up. Results revealed no significant differences between groups in DASH scores at 6 weeks or 1 year follow up. DASH work scores at 6 weeks were significantly in favour of the face-to-face group compared to the advice leaflet group; otherwise, no significant differences between groups were observed between groups in all secondary outcomes.
