 This will be a single center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The investigators planned to collect data from 80 patients with undisplaced distal radius fractures. Half were to be treated with the plastic back slab or sugar tong splint if there were an ulnar styloid fracture and half were to be treated with the StabilAir splint. The initial treatment, which was to occur upon the patients arrival at the emergency room and prior to study randomization, required full forearm and wrist immobilization in the acute phase treated with sugar tong splinting. At the patients follow-up visit, which was to happen 10 days post injury and initial evaluation, when it was determined that full forearm immobilization was no longer necessary, patients were informed of the study, consented, and randomized as in the flip of a coin to one of the two study groups using a computerized randomization process that was controlled by the study coordinator. One study group was to consist of patients treated with either sugar tong splint or plaster casting and the other study group was to consist of patients treated with the StabilAir brace. Throughout entire study, the sugar tong splintcasting patients was to be the control group.
