Arthroscopic wrist fracture repair under local anesthesia
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a less invasive way to fix wrist fractures using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and numbing medication instead of general anesthesia. It may mean a faster recovery and less time in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old
- You have a broken wrist where the bone pieces are out of place
- The fracture is on one wrist only (not both)
- You have not had surgery or an infection in that wrist before
- You can understand French and are covered by social security

This trial tests whether a steroid injection into the wrist joint after surgery for a broken wrist can improve recovery. It is for people who have already had their fracture repaired with a plate and screws.
This trial studies a type of wrist surgery that uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) to help fix a broken wrist bone. It may help people with a recent, serious wrist fracture that involves the joint surface.
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.
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 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 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.
