Child wrist fracture study comparing treatment for certain breaks
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at treatment for children’s wrist (distal radius) fractures that are very displaced but not involving the growth plate. It may help doctors find the best way to reset and stabilize the bone when the fracture is recent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Parent or legal guardian can sign and date consent
- Your child is willing to follow study steps for the whole study period
- Your child is 4 to 10 years old
- The break is in the lower part of the radius near the wrist and is fully shifted (100% dorsally displaced)
- The fracture is within 5 cm of the growth plate and happened within the last 10 days

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 studies how satisfied patients are with recovery after a specific type of wrist fracture (distal radius) and how well recovery goes. It may help improve care and rehabilitation for people healing from this injury.
This registry collects information and X-ray images from people who had surgery for a distal radius (wrist) fracture. It helps researchers improve fracture care by using real-world treatment and outcome data.
This trial compares two approaches for treating a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) in people 65 and older: no reduction (letting the bone heal without realigning it) versus closed reduction (realigning the bone without surgery). It aims to see if skipping reduction leads to similar outcomes and avoids unnecessary procedures.
This study compares two different lengths of time for applying gentle pulling (traction) to help reposition a broken wrist bone before putting it in a cast. The goal is to see if a shorter traction time works just as well as a longer one, which could make the treatment faster and more comfortable for patients.
This study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
