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

Description

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

Conditions

Distal Radius Fracture, Tendon Rupture

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * 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.
  • * 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.
