Early Mobilization After Volar Locking Plate Osteosynthesis of Distal Radial Fractures in Older Patients —A Randomized Controlled Trial

To investigate if early mobilization after open reduction internal fixation of distal radius fractures improved the functional outcome. We hypothesized that early mobilization would lead to improved patient-reported outcome. Second, we aimed to assess whether early mobilization increased the risk of postoperative implant loosening or breakage.
