Grip strength has been used to evaluate the upper extremity functional status and clinical
outcomes following upper extremity trauma or surgery. Understanding general recovery …

Objective To describe the theoretical development and structure of an occupation-based
intervention for people with a surgically repaired distal radius fracture. Intervention …

Purpose Although studies have demonstrated that locked screws with a length of 75% of the
radius width are sufficient for the treatment of extra-articular fractures of the distal radius, the …

Purpose Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures in adults. Because of the
prevalence of these injuries, patients may present with a repeat distal radius fracture on the …

Purpose Following surgical repair of distal radius fractures, range of movement (ROM)
exercises are the primary approach for restoring movement during early rehabilitation …

Background and purpose A better understanding of factors that influence functioning may
improve the identification of patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs) who need hand …

Purpose Size options for volar locking plates may provide value for distal radius fixation. We
compared excessively narrow plates with plates that were appropriately matched in width for …

Abstract Introduction Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are associated with a high economic
burden and an impact on quality of life on these patients. Its high prevalence demonstrates …

Background: Distal radius fractures often present with a 3-part articular fragmentation
pattern, with separation of the dorsal and volar lunate fossa. The column concept of distal …

Assuming that some patients may benefit from early supervised rehabilitation after distal
radial fractures, we investigated to what extent self-reported measures of disability, pain and …
