This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
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.
Wrist Mobilization Following Volar Plate Fixation of Fractures of the Distal Part of the Radius
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2008 Jun;90(6):1297-304.60 patients, older than 18 years of age, presenting with an isolated fracture of the distal part of the radius were treated with a single fixed angle volar plate. Patients were randomized to commence either early (2 weeks) or late (6 weeks) motion of the wrist to assess difference in wrist function. The late initiation of wrist exercises after volar plate fixation did not result in decreased wrist range of motion compared with the early initiation of wrist motion.
