Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether, during the first 10 days of immobilisation, a complete plaster cast or a dorsal plaster splint best retains the alignment of a reduced Colles' fracture. In addition, we aim to compare the complication rates of the two methods.
