Distal Radius Fracture: Clinical Outcome After Conservative Treatment in the Elder Patient

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is performed to evaluate the outcome of conservative treatment after distal radius fractures in patients of 65 years or older at the time of the injury, primarily with respect to the prognostic value of the Adolfsson-score for the functional demands of the patient on his hand.

Arms and Interventions

| Intervention/Treatment |
| --- |
|Other: Questionnaires to assess Patient reported Outcomes|Adolfsson-Score questionnaire quantifies the patient's utility of the hand. Suhm Score questionnaire quantifies the independency of a patient in his daily life.|
|Other: wrist function test|wrist function assessed by the range of motion (ROM) for both the affected and the unaffected side.|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adolfsson score | Adolfsson-Score quantifies the patient's utility of the Hand; 8-point scale ranging from 1 = no activity done using hand/arm to 8 = professional activity with high physical stress for the arm. Lower scores reflect fewer effort in using arm/Hand; higher scores reflect higher strain in using arm/hand | single time point assessment at baseline | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Suhm Score | Suhm Score quantifies the independency of a patient in his daily life. 4-point scale ranging from 1 = living at home, independent to 4 = living in nursing home, dependency. Lower scores reflect high independency of a patient in his daily life; higher scores reflect higher dependency of a patient in his daily life. | single time point assessment at baseline | 
| Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score | Quick DASH score is a 11-item, self-report questionnaire that measures physical function and symptoms in people with musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. The QuickDASH is scored in two components: the disability/symptom section (11 items, scored 1-5) and the optional high performance sport/Music or work modules (4 items, scored 1-5). A higher score indicates greater disability. | single time point assessment at baseline | 
| Range of wrist joint motion (degree) | Range of wrist joint motion (degree) | single time point assessment at baseline |
