Introduction: Although distal radius fractures (DRFs) are the most common fractures of the human body, there are still ongoing debates concerning the treatment for type A fractures, especially in elderly patients. In spite of good clinical outcomes, it remains unclear whether elderly patients, especially, could regain the preoperative functional level of the wrist. Therefore, we have quantified wrist function within a retrospective study design using patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) and we have analyzed the influence of age between control and patient collective and young vs.

However, randomized controlled trials are difficult to perform. The quality of care can be determined primarily in the context of health care research using register studies.

They exhibit a characteristic classical exponential growth, but saturate beyond the so-called scrambling or Ehrenfest time τ_{E} in the quantum correlated regime. Here we present a path-integral approach for the entire time evolution of OTOCs for bosonic N-particle systems.
