Brief Summary

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

This study aims at determining if there is an association between locoregional anesthesia and postoperative functional recovery for orthopedic surgery to repair a distal radial fracture, as compared to general anesthesia.

Detailed Description

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

All patients undergoing orthopedic wrist surgery under locoregional or general anesthesia at the CIUSSS de l'Estrie-CHUS who meet the selection criteria will be approach to participate in this prospective single-center observational study. Using the visual analog scale and anesthesia scale, the pain and the satisfaction of the patient will be evaluated respectively 2 weeks postoperatively. At the second visit, 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively, the participant will complete the QuickDASH questionnaire to evaluate his functional recovery and the participant's pain will be reassessed with the visual analogue scale. Finally, 12 weeks postoperatively, the wrist-joint range of motion and grip-strength test results will be recorded. The participant will also be asked to complete the QuickDASH and PRWE (Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation) questionnaires to reevaluate his functional recovery.
