Protocol summary

Study aim
1- Comparison of the effects of long arm cast and Thumb Spica arm cast on hand reduction 2- Comparison of the effect of long arm cast and Thumb Spica arm cast on the range of motion of the wrist joint.
Design
Clinical trials with a hospital-based and pragmatic control group with parallel, randomized groups, Group 1: Treatment with the long arm cast, Group 2: Treatment with the Thumb Spica arm cast, randomization method Simple randomization, randomization unit: Individual, randomization tool: Random number table, no blinded, The total sample size of 80 patients with distal radius fractures without displacement in 2 groups, clinical trial phase: 3.
Settings and conduct
Distal radius fracture is among the most common fractures of the long bones that are seen in all age groups. Treatment of these fractures in simple cases with displacement or intraarticular fractures inaction, and if the fracture has dislocation may be required surgery. The aim of the study is a comparison of treatment effect in the methods of a long cast and Thumb Spica Cast in the patients with distal radius fractures without displacement. Patients referred to the Baqiyatallah hospital who was diagnosed with distal radius fractures without displacement. Group 1: Treatment with the long arm cast, Group 2: Treatment with the Thumb Spica arm cast, randomization method Simple randomization, randomization tool: Random number table, The total sample size of 80 patients.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with distal radius fractures without displacement, Exclusion criteria: Patients with Intraarterial fractures of Distal Radius, fracture greater than 20 degrees of dorsal angulation.
Intervention groups
Group 1: Treatment with the long arm cast. Group 2: Treatment with the Thumb Spica arm cast.
Main outcome variables
Hand reduction, The range of motion of the wrist joint.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Thumb Spica arm cast for 6 weeks, Spica cast is not gypsum but a kind of casting. Thumb Spica arm cast at the radial surface of the forearm is placed in order to immobilize the thumb and prevent the flexion and extension of the wrist. This splint extends from the tip of the thumb to the proximal forearm. Place the forearm in a neutral position, while the wrist has a 20-degree extension and the shoulder is bent slightly.
