Evaluating the Effectiveness of Remote Monitoring for Post-Operative Management of Distal Radius Fractures

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Distal Radius Fracture, Distal Radius Fracture Fixation

In brief

This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether remote monitoring can provide a safe and effective alternative to traditional in-person follow-up after surgical fixation of distal radius fractures. The study compares functional outcomes, patient satisfaction, and complication rates between patients who receive virtual follow-up care and those who attend standard in-person visits.
