Analysis of the outcome measures for DRF at 3, 12, and 24 months in the VFUDC and FC treatment groups.
fracture, hand dominancy
REGRESSION
VFUDC = Volar Flexion Ulnar Deviation Cast, FC = Functional Cast, PRWE = Patient-Reported Wrist Evaluation, Quick-DASH = short version of Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand, 15D = self-administrated questionnaire for measuring health-related quality of life, VAS = Visual Analogue Scale of painThere was a slight difference between the groups concerning whether the patient had the fracture in the dominant hand (51% in VFUDC vs 36% in FC group). This did not, however, seem to influence the functional results between the groups. The difference between fracture in the dominant and non-dominant hand in PRWE scores at 24 months was 1.6 (95% CI -10 to 7).In a linear regression model, the adjusted difference between groups in PRWE at 24 months was -5.3 points (95% CI -13 to 2.2) in favor of FC when adjusted for age, sex, articular/non-articular fracture, and hand dominancy. This did not exceed the MCID. The adjusted difference between groups in 15D at 24 months was -0.006 points (95% CI -0.06 to 0.05). The results from the cumulative probability model are presented in
