Extended vs Flexed Elbow Casting
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Fracture;Elbow
In brief
The study design is a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing extended elbow and flexed elbow casting. This study design will provide the highest quality evidence to investigate our primary hypothesis that extended elbow casting for proximal both bone forearm fractures will result in less loss of fracture alignment. The study population eligible for screening will be patients with open growth plates and both bone forearm fractures.
