Comparing treatment options for a TFCC tear in the wrist
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at which treatment works best for a specific kind of wrist cartilage (TFCC) tear. It may help you choose the most effective option if you have ulnar-sided wrist pain that didn’t improve with non-surgical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old (and under 65).
- You have pain on the pinky side of your wrist.
- A clinician suspects a TFCC tear on physical exam.
- Your symptoms have lasted more than 3 months and non-surgical treatment didn’t help.
- You can complete the study questionnaires in Danish, Finnish, or Swedish.
- Your wrist MRI/surgery findings match certain TFCC tear locations (central, ulnar, or radial types).

This study looks at people aged 18–60 who have ongoing, painful wrist instability from a fully torn scapholunate ligament. It may help improve surgical approaches by carefully selecting patients whose ligament tear is complete and causing measurable joint looseness.
This trial compares two different operations for thumb CMC (carpometacarpal) arthritis. It looks at which surgery works better when other non-surgery treatments have not helped you.
This study compares two ways to treat a specific type of shoulder fracture (a break in the greater tuberosity) that is also accompanied by a rotator cuff tear. It aims to find the best approach to help your shoulder heal and regain strength.
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 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.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair large cartilage or bone defects in the knee, which can cause pain and limit movement. If you have a significant knee injury that hasn't improved with other treatments, you may be able to join and help find which method works best.
