Satisfaction and Recovery After Distal Radius Fracture

Sweden300 participantsStarted 2023-01-12

Plain-language summary

Distal radius fracture is the most common fracture in Sweden, but little is known about the patient's experience of pain and hand function during the first three months after the injury. This observational study will provide detailed information on a daily basis regarding pain, use of analgesic drugs, use of splints and hand function as measured weekly by a condition-specific questionnaire.
