Home Management of Pediatric Buckle Fractures
Sponsor: Carilion Clinic
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a home management plan incorporating video education can effectively replace in-person visits for children aged 7-17 diagnosed with distal radius buckle fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a home management plan with video education non-inferior to in-person management for patient satisfaction? Is a home management plan superior to in-person management for reducing healthcare-related time, missed work/school, inappropriate care (e.g., rigid casting), and healthcare resource consumption? Researchers will compare the home management group to the in-person management group to see if video education can reduce healthcare costs and the burden on patients without compromising care quality. Participants will: Be randomized to either the in-person group or the video-based home management group. Complete a pediatric PROMIS assessment at baseline and 6 weeks. Complete a satisfaction survey at the conclusion of the study.

Educational videos
Internet will be used to deliver educational videos to subjects enrolled in the home management arm of the study which will be available on the Carilion Clinic Orthopaedic Education YouTube Channel. This will consist of a prerecorded video made by the three pediatric orthopaedic surgeons on this study explaining the nature of buckle fractures and treatment. Participants will be sent a link to the video over email (an example of a similar video in clinical use at Carilion Orthopaedics and the script of the video can be found in the study document attached).
