  Purpose

This study is designed as a multi-center randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups of patients with symptomatic extra-articular malunited distal radius fractures. One group of patients will undergo corrective surgery of the distal radius, with preoperative computer-assisted planning and virtual osteotomy, and the other group will undergo corrective surgery, with conventional (non-computer-assisted) preoperative planning. The investigators hypothesize that computer-assisted surgical planning will result in a better functional outcome.


Condition Intervention
Extraarticular Distal Radius Malunion
 Procedure: Computer-Assisted Surgical Planning
Procedure: distal radius osteotomy

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Computer-Assisted Versus Non-Computer Assisted Preoperative Planning of Corrective Osteotomy for Extra-Articular Distal Radius Malunions: A Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • grip strength [ Time Frame: 3, 6, 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 40
Study Start Date: August 2010
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Control
Surgery without computer-assisted planning.
 Procedure: distal radius osteotomy
In this control group, the planning and surgical execution of the distal radius osteotomy will be performed as usual, without computer-assisted planning of the osteotomy.
Experimental: Computer-Assisted Surgical Planning Procedure: Computer-Assisted Surgical Planning
Using a CT reconstructing of affected distal radius and the normal contralateral limb, surgical guides for the osteotomy will be created to assist with surgical planning.
