Cast Versus Surgery for Displaced Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures in the Elderly a Randomized Clinical Noninferiority Trial (the DART Study) Open
Background: Evidence supporting surgery in elderly patients with distal radius fractures is limited, but displaced fractures may benefit from surgery. This study aimed to determine whether casting is noninferior to surgery for patients age…

Improved forearm rotation even after early conversion to below-elbow cast for non-reduced diaphyseal both-bones forearm fractures in children: a secondary 7.5-year follow up of a randomized trial Open
Background and purpose: previous RCT compared short-term results of above-elbow cast (AEC) with early conversion to below-elbow cast (BEC) in children with non-reduced diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures. After 7 months both groups had …

Accuracy of 3D Corrective Osteotomy for Pediatric Malunited Both-Bone Forearm Fractures Open
Re-displacement of a pediatric diaphyseal forearm fracture can lead to a malunion with symptomatic impairment in forearm rotation, which may require a corrective osteotomy. Corrective osteotomy with two-dimensional (2D) radiographic planni…

Identify Finger Rotation Angles With ArUco Markers and Action Cameras Open
Measuring the motions of human hand joints is often a challenge due to the high number of degrees-of-freedom. In this study, we proposed a hand tracking system utilizing action cameras and ArUco markers to continuously measure the rotation…

Do We Need to Stabilize All Reduced Metaphyseal Both-bone Forearm Fractures in Children with K-wires? Open
Background Short-term follow-up studies have shown that reduced metaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures in children should be treated with K-wires to prevent redisplacement and inferior functional results. Minimum 5-year follow-up studies …

Treatment Recommendations for Suspected Scapholunate Ligament Pathology Open
Background The diagnosis and treatment of scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) pathology is debated and notably variable. This study assessed the influence of diagnostic arthroscopy on treatment recommendations and the interobserver r…

Outcomes of 3-D corrective osteotomies for paediatric malunited both-bone forearm fractures Open
Closed treatment of paediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures carries the risk of re-displacement, which can lead to symptomatic malunions. This is because growth will not correct angulation deformity as it does in metaphyseal fractures. The…

The CAST study protocol: a cluster randomized trial assessing the effect of circumferential casting versus plaster splinting on fracture redisplacement in reduced distal radius fractures in adults Open
Background There is no consensus concerning the optimal casting technique for displaced distal radius fractures (DRFs) following closed reduction. This study evaluates whether a splint or a circumferential cast is most optimal to prevent f…

Below-elbow cast sufficient for treatment of minimally displaced metaphyseal both-bone fractures of the distal forearm in children: long-term results of a randomized controlled multicenter trial Open
Background and purpose - We have previously shown that children with minimally displaced metaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures, who were treated with a below-elbow cast (BEC) instead of an above-elbow cast (AEC), experienced more comfort…

Clinically SUspected ScaPhoid fracturE: treatment with supportive bandage or CasT? ‘Study protocol of a multicenter randomized controlled trial’ (SUSPECT study) Open
Introduction Some scaphoid fractures become visible on radiographs weeks after a trauma which makes normal radiographs directly after trauma unreliable. Untreated scaphoid fractures can lead to scaphoid non-union progressing to osteoarthri…
