Trial purpose is to research the outcome comparing traditional physiotherapy vs telerehabilitation after volar plating of distal radius fracture.
Patients with distal radius fracture that meet the operative criteria set by the Finnish Current Care guidelines are randomized (1:1 computer generated sequence with random block size) to two parallel groups and will undergo operative treatment and traditional physiotherapy vs telerehabilitation.
Baseline data is collected preoperatively and patients are followed at 1, 3 and 12 months after enrollment. The primary end-point is 3 months and the primary outcome is the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE).
