Quantitative and Clinical Assessment of Flexor Tendon Gliding Following Application of a Bioresorbable Hydrogel: A Prospective, Randomized Study in Patients Undergoing Distal Radius Fracture Repair
Quantitative and Clinical Assessment of Flexor Tendon Gliding Following Application of a Bioresorbable Hydrogel: A Prospective, Randomized Study in Patients Undergoing Distal Radius Fracture Repair.
University of Colorado, Denver
50 participants
Sep 13, 2021
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators will be evaluating the use of versawrap in the setting of distal radius fractures by placing membrane between plate and flexor tendons. Investigators will then evaluate tendon gliding morphology and number of tendon ruptures
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Cognitively able to converse in English or in native language supported by a certified medical interpreter;
- Diagnosed with a closed, distal radius fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a volar distal radius plating system.
Exclusion Criteria6
- open injury;
- concomitant injury to the contralateral wrist;
- history of flexor tendon repair involving one or both hands or wrists;
- use of a trans-carpal fixation device (bridge plate or external fixator) that would preclude wrist motion post-operatively;
- concomitant fracture / injury to the thumb or index finger of one or both hands;
- concomitant carpal tunnel release.
