First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether people can go home the same day after surgery for a broken wrist, instead of staying in the hospital overnight. Researchers will compare recovery, function, and patient satisfaction between the two groups. The goal is to see if same-day discharge is a safe and effective option for adults with this type of fracture.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that same-day discharge after wrist fracture surgery is safe and effective, potentially reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is a risk that outpatient recovery could lead to more complications or worse outcomes.
