Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed as a multi-center randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups of patients with symptomatic extra-articular malunited distal radius fractures. One group of patients will undergo corrective surgery of the distal radius, with preoperative computer-assisted planning and virtual osteotomy, and the other group will undergo corrective surgery, with conventional (non-computer-assisted) preoperative planning. The investigators hypothesize that computer-assisted surgical planning will result in a better functional outcome.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

Surgery without computer-assisted planning.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

distal radius osteotomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In this control group, the planning and surgical execution of the distal radius osteotomy will be performed as usual, without computer-assisted planning of the osteotomy.

Computer-Assisted Surgical Planning

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Computer-Assisted Surgical Planning

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Using a CT reconstructing of affected distal radius and the normal contralateral limb, surgical guides for the osteotomy will be created to assist with surgical planning.
