Anxiety Surrounding Supracondylar Pin Removal in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to determine if removing supracondylar pins immediately following cast removal and prior to X-ray and/or using a VR headset during pin removal decreases patient and parent/guardian anxiety compared to pin removal following cast removal and X-ray and/or without the use of a VR headset. The research team hypothesizes that patient anxiety response will be lower when pins are removed immediately following cast removal and will be lower when patient uses a VR headset compared to our current standard of care. Secondarily, this study will determine if there is an association between patient anxiety response and their parent's/guardian's anxiety.
