There is an interest in changing the rigid cast to a removable brace. This can reduce the risk for cast-corrections, complications and improve recovery of function.\n                  <\/ns3:p>\n                  <ns3:p>The aim of the study was to compare quality of recovery (QoR) between brace and traditional cast for immobilisation during the first postoperative week.<\/ns3:p>\n                  <ns3:p>\n                    <ns3:bold>Methods:\u00a0<\/ns3:bold>\n                    60 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1\u20133, scheduled for surgical treatment of DRF under a supraclavicular block (SCB) in a day-surgery setting were randomised into two groups of immobilisation post-surgery; brace (n=30)\n                    <ns3:italic>versus<\/ns3:italic>\n                    traditional cast (n=30).

The only difference found was that patients in the brace group had significantly worse pain score 24-hours post-surgery (p=0.022). No significant differences were seen in total median oxycodone consumption the\n                    <ns3:sup\/>\n                    first three postoperative days.
