Plain-language summary
This research project is a multi-year proposal, with the goals of answering and evaluating the following:
1. Does an intramedullary locking device applied in an extra-articular distal radius fracture improve post operative pain, diminish hospitalization, improve early return to activity and function compared to a volar locked plate?
2. Does an intramedullary locking device applied in an extra-articular distal radius fracture improve patient related outcome measures compared to a volar locked plate?
