Home Management of Pediatric Buckle Fractures

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Buckle Fracture, Patient Satisfaction

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a home management plan incorporating video education can effectively replace in-person visits for children aged 7-17 diagnosed with distal radius buckle fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a home management plan with video education non-inferior to in-person management for patient satisfaction? Is a home management plan superior to in-person management for reducing healthcare-related time, missed work/school, inappropriate care (e.g., rigid casting), and healthcare resource consumption? Researchers will compare the home management group to the in-person management group to see if video education can reduce healthcare costs and the burden on patients without compromising care quality. Participants will: Be randomized to either the in-person group or the video-based home management group. Complete a pediatric PROMIS assessment at baseline and 6 weeks. Complete a satisfaction survey at the conclusion of the study.
