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 study compares two ways to treat broken wrist bones in children: putting the arm in a cast versus having surgery. The goal is to find out which approach works better for healing.
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 trial looks at a less invasive way to fix an unstable wrist fracture using a surgical approach designed to help bones heal. You might be considered if your fracture is recent and unstable, but certain types of open or complicated injuries may rule you out.
