Methods Randomised, double‐blind controlled trial
Study period January 2013 to December 2015
Participants 60 participants, aged 2 to 11 years (eligible) with completely displaced distal radius fractures with or without distal ulna fractures
Interventions 1. Closed anatomic reduction under anaesthesia and short cast
2. Closed overriding alignment and short cast. Oral medications only
The cast was removed after 6 weeks and rehabilitation in‐house was started as soon as the pain was over
Outcomes Follow‐up: Weeks 1, 3, 6 and 10
Primary outcomes: Residual radiographic deformities, radial tilt, radial shortening and radial variation
Secondary outcomes: Pain (VAS), residual functional deficits assessed by the Upper Extremity Functional Index, aesthetic results measured by clinical radial alignment
Notes JE sent email to Dr Acosta‐Olivo (acostaolivocarlos@gmail.com) 8 March 2017 asking for current plans for publishing the trial results and permission to access individual patient data file on the trial registration website. Reply received from Dr Adriana Hernandez 8 March 2017 confirming that they are planning to publish the results and that permission would need to be granted from the University in Mexico to share the data.
Data from the University in Mexico not provided. Awaiting publication of trial report. A conference abstract was identified by JH subsequent to the search and so has not been included in the results of the search (Hernandez 2018)
