The protocol for a multicentre prospective randomized noninferiority trial of surgical reduction versus non-surgical casting for displaced distal radius fractures in children
At six weeks, and three, six, and 12 months, data on function, pain, QoL, cosmesis, and satisfaction with care will be collected. After completion of the main phase of the study, patients will be followed up for a further two years. Up to one year after randomization, the main outcomes plus data on complications, resource use, and school absence will be collected. The primary outcome is the PROMIS Upper Extremity Score at three months post-randomization. All data will be obtained through electronic questionnaires completed by the participants and/or parents/guardians.
