Surgery for painful wrist-joint arthritis with stable joint
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at a surgical procedure to help people with painful arthritis where two forearm bones meet at the wrist. It’s for people whose joint is stable, aiming to improve pain and hand function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have painful arthritis in the joint at the wrist between the forearm bones (distal radioulnar joint)
- Your wrist joint is stable (the bones don’t slip or shift too much)
- You do NOT have an active inflammatory arthritis that is rapidly damaging the joint
- You should not have major joint instability at that wrist joint
- You must not have an active infection, poor healing soft-tissue around the area, or a wound from an accident on the operated hand

This study compares two treatments for wrist arthritis: a surgery that cuts certain wrist nerves to stop pain signals, versus structured hand exercises. It may help if you have chronic wrist pain from a specific type of arthritis and haven't had previous wrist nerve surgery.
This study follows patients for one year after wrist fusion surgery to see how well the procedure works. It may help if you have severe wrist arthritis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This trial is studying how to tell if a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) is stable enough to heal well. It will compare different ways of measuring the break on X-rays to find the best criteria for deciding if surgery is needed.
This trial compares two types of wrist surgery for osteoarthritis in the wrist bones (SLAC/SNAC stage II–III). It may help you and your surgeon choose the procedure that best improves pain and wrist function for your specific wrist arthritis pattern.
This study tests a web-based rehabilitation program after certain wrist surgeries for osteoarthritis. It aims to help you recover better at home after your operation.
This trial studies whether using a donor meniscus (meniscal allograft) during wrist replacement surgery can help people with painful wrist osteoarthritis. It’s mainly for certain types of arthritis changes in the wrist (SLAC or SNAC) and specific age ranges.
