Recruiting studies
- NCT07276334Enrolling by invitation
Same-day discharge vs. hospital stay for wrist fracture surgery
This trial compares going home the same day after wrist fracture surgery versus staying in the hospital. It aims to see if same-day discharge is safe and effective for recovery.
Ẕerifin, IsraelAges 18–120 - NCT07288060Enrolling by invitation
Hand therapy after wrist fracture surgery
This study tests two hand therapy methods to help improve wrist position sense after a broken wrist is fixed with metal plates and screws. It may help participants regain better control and function after surgery.
IstanbulAges 25–65 - NCT04976335Recruiting
Tests a gel that helps wrist tendon movement after fracture repair
This study looks at whether a bio-dissolving (self-absorbing) gel improves how well the wrist flexor tendons glide after surgery for a distal radius fracture. You may be randomly assigned to use the gel or not, and the researchers will measure wrist tendon and clinical outcomes to see if it helps.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05046600Recruiting
Hand and wrist implant registry for eligible adult patients
This registry collects information about people who need hand or wrist surgery using specific Arthrex implants. It helps the company and doctors learn how these implants are used and how patients do during healing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06019585Recruiting
Comparing two bandages after wrist fracture surgery
This study compares two ways to support the wrist after surgery for a broken distal radius. One uses a compression bandage, the other uses a splint. The goal is to see which helps you heal and return to daily activities faster.
CórdobaAges 18–75 - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06384456RecruitingPhase 4
TXA vs Placebo for Pain After Wrist Surgery
This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine used to reduce bleeding, can help lessen pain right after wrist fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you had breast cancer and radiation at least a year ago, are not currently on active cancer treatment, and don't take blood thinners or daily strong pain pills.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06453447Recruiting
Prednisone to prevent CRPS after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether a short course of the steroid prednisone can prevent or reduce complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after wrist surgery. It is for people who had a broken wrist fixed with a plate and screws and have a higher chance of developing CRPS.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07552766RecruitingPhase 4
Lidocaine infusion to reduce opioid use in arm fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a pain-relieving medication called lidocaine through an IV during arm fracture surgery can reduce how much opioid pain medication (like morphine) children need after surgery. The goal is to help manage pain better while using fewer opioids.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 3–18 - NCT06913920Recruiting
Comparing therapies for hand swelling and pain after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether using mechanical devices (like compression or massage) reduces swelling and pain better than standard care after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you recover hand function more comfortably.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06931418Recruiting
Wrist fracture recovery exercise study
This study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT07426926Recruiting
Home light therapy for wrist fracture recovery
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT07440251Recruiting
Double fixation for broken lower ulna bone
This trial tests if fixing a specific type of broken wrist bone (the ulna) with both a flexible rod and a small plate helps it heal better. It may be an option if you have a displaced or unstable ulna fracture, with or without a radius fracture.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT07523386Recruiting
Cannulated Screws vs. K-wires for Wrist Fracture Surgery
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing broken wrist bones in adults. Researchers want to see which approach—using special screws or wires—works better for healing and function.
Sohag, Naser CityAges 18–60 - NCT07219979Enrolling by invitation
Remote monitoring for wrist fracture recovery
This trial tests if checking your recovery with a smartphone or computer at home works as well as in-person visits after wrist fracture surgery. You would use a device to share updates with your care team instead of traveling to the clinic.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06365710Recruiting
Physiotherapy vs telerehab after wrist fracture surgery
This study compares in-person physiotherapy with remote telerehabilitation after a specific type of wrist fracture surgery. It aims to see if doing rehab at home works as well as going to a clinic.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–65 - NCT05650996RecruitingPhase 1
Early hand therapy participation after broken wrist
This Phase 1 study looks at whether starting hand activity soon after a distal radius fracture helps improve recovery outcomes. You may be able to join if your broken wrist is treated with a cast and you can report your symptoms and function reliably in English.
Washington, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05699174RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two antibiotic routes for infected broken bones after surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving antibiotics by mouth (PO) works as well as giving antibiotics through a vein (IV) for an infected fracture that has not healed after prior surgery. It may help you understand which approach is safer and more effective for getting the bone to heal.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06542471Enrolling by invitation
Plates vs rods for pediatric forearm fractures
This trial compares two surgical approaches for kids with broken both forearm bones: using metal plates or a flexible rod inside the bone. It aims to see which method leads to better healing, so you can get back to playing sooner.
CairoAges 9 years+ - NCT07576075Recruiting
Comparing two surgical treatments for wrist fractures
This study compares two ways to surgically treat a specific type of wrist fracture (where the break extends into the joint). Researchers will compare a metal plate attached to the inside of the wrist versus an external fixator (a metal frame attached to the outside) to see which helps patients recover better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for distal radius fracture fixation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting distal radius fracture fixation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a distal radius fracture fixation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a distal radius fracture fixation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
