Research Summary
We are engaged in a clinical study of the durability of repair of a muscle that is released during surgery to repair fractures of the distal radius (wrist).
Specialized Terms: Distal radius fractures
Extensive Research Description
We are enrolling patients in a clinical study of the durability of repair of the pronator quadratus muscle after volar plate fixation of distal radius.
