This study seeks to determine if postoperative phone calls by a physician affect outcomes in hand surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study seeks to determine if postoperative phone calls by a physician affect outcomes in hand surgery. Patients who require operative treatment of hand and wrist fractures are randomly assigned to a group that receives a postoperative phone call or the control group that receives the standard postoperative care. Patient reported and medical outcomes are observed starting at 1 month postoperatively.
