Trial Description
Title
Angulated fractures of the distal forearm in children: is remodeling a therapeutic option?
Trial Acronym
AFIC
URL of the Trial
[---]*
Brief Summary in Lay Language
Children (5-11 yrs) with distal angulated forearm fractures will be corrected spontaneously by remodelling or closed reduction and K-wire pinning. The primary objective of this trial is to assess whether long-term functional outcome (2 yrs) in remodelled patients is not inferior to patients receiving closed reduction and K-wire pinning.

Primary Outcome
Cooney-Score after 24 months (dichotomised in ≥90 vs. <90). The Cooney score includes subjective parameters (pain, strength, and activity before and after trauma) as well as objective (flexibility) parameters.
Secondary Outcome
- Cooney-score after 3 and 12 months;
- patient/parent satisfaction score (ZUF-8 and CHC-SUN modified) after 1, 3, 12 and 24 months;
- grade of radiological displacement at 12/24 months;
- secondary operation (after 24 months);
- secondary reposition (after 24 months);
- secondary K-wire osteosynthesis (after 24 months);
- growth disturbance (after 24 months);
- therapeutic complications (Dindo-Clavien classification, after 24 months)
