Summary
This single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the added benefit of mechanical modalities (continuous passive motion (CPM) and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC)) when integrated into standard therapy for managing postoperative edema and pain in patients undergoing distal radius fracture (DRF) fixation. The primary outcomes are edema volume (measured via volumeter) and pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale, NPRS) at 6 weeks post-operation. Secondary outcomes include wrist/forearm range of motion (ROM), grip strength, Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), and adverse events.
