How to measure outcomes of distal radius fracture treatment.

Abstract:

:There is no established outcome measure designated as the superior measure when evaluating the results of distal radius fracture management. Although there are many used in the literature, there are only a few that have been validated to specifically predict recovery after a distal radius fracture. Additionally, there are few comparative trials that attempt to directly measure the predictive abilities of specific outcome measures. This article discusses the common scales and scores used to measure the functional recovery after distal radius fracture management and provides evidence-based literature to assess the reliability of these measures to predict outcomes.
