Meniscal graft surgery for wrist arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have painful wrist arthritis related to SLAC or SNAC wrist changes
- You are at least 30 years old or no older than 80 years old
- You have not had prior surgery for wrist osteoarthritis
- You should be able to move forward with a trial evaluation for the wrist condition

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 combining knee bone realignment surgery (osteotomy) with a donor meniscus transplant can improve knee pain and function in people with arthritis from uneven leg alignment. You would need to commit to physical therapy and repeat checkups with X-rays and MRI scans.
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 trial tests a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged meniscus (the knee's cushion) while also repairing the ACL (a key ligament), using a tendon graft to stabilize the knee. It is designed for people whose knee problems have not gotten better with therapy or pain relievers.
This trial compares two ways to treat persistent knee pain after a partial meniscectomy using a tissue graft to replace the missing meniscus – either the patient's own hamstring tendon or a donor meniscus. It may help people whose knee pain continues months after their first surgery.
