Comparing two treatments for finger fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for fractures of the finger bone closest to the hand. It will help find out which approach—a special cast or a simple splint—works better for healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Broken finger bone in the main part of the finger (not the joint or tip)
- Age between 18 and 70 years

This study compares two surgical methods for fixing certain finger fractures: a small screw inside the bone (IM screw) versus a thin wire (K-wire). Both are common techniques; this trial aims to see which provides better recovery and comfort.
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing certain hand fractures: using screws placed inside the bone versus using pins placed through the skin with a cast. The goal is to see which approach helps your hand heal better and move better afterward.
This trial compares two ways to treat a broken wrist (Colles' fracture): using a cast alone versus using a small metal pin (K-wire) plus a cast. The goal is to see which method helps you regain better function.
