This study evaluates the influence of cost information on decision-making for immobilization for treatment of distal radial buckle fractures. Half of the participants will receive cost information from an orthopaedic surgeon prior to making their decision for treatment, while the other half will receive cost information from another member of the study team after they had made their decision treatment.
Research has shown equipoise in treatment outcomes after casting and splinting for pediatric buckle fractures. Despite the similarly favorable treatment outcomes associated with both casting and splinting these fractures, there is wide disparities in cost between the two types of immobilization. However, cost information is not routinely presented to families during the discussion of immobilization types.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if cost information influences family decision-making about immobilization type after pediatric buckle fractures. A secondary objective is to determine if the timing of and person disseminating the cost information changes the influence it has on families' decision-making.
