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.
