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 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 trial tests a web-based rehabilitation program for people recovering from specific wrist surgeries for osteoarthritis. It aims to see if online support can help improve recovery and quality of life.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether an injection made from your own microfat tissue mixed with platelet-rich plasma can reduce pain and improve function in radiocarpal (wrist) osteoarthritis. It compares this approach to a different standard treatment called total wrist denervation.
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.
