The primary goal of this study is to compare functional outcomes (range of motion [flexion,
extension, supination, pronation], return to work, of patients with distal radius fractures
who receive intraoperative glucocorticoids to those that do not. Secondary goals include
comparison of pain control (number of pain pills consumed, visual analog scale (VAS) pain
scores) between patients with distal radius fractures who receive intraoperative
glucocorticoids to those that do not. The primary endpoint of this study will occur when 18
patients in each test-group complete the 6 month follow up visit for study.
