Interventions
Choice of operative treatment is TBW or PF with a precontoured anatomical plate. The treating surgeon decides if TBW or PF is chosen as operative treatment method. The surgeries are performed according to OTA principles by an experienced surgeon, a trauma fellow or a consultant as approved by the participating hospitals.
Patients allocated to non-operative treatment are offered a back-slab in 60 degrees of flexion for pain-relief. The back-slab is removed 7-14 days following injury.
