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 study tests whether giving a steroid injection into the wrist joint during surgery helps improve recovery after a broken wrist that needed a plate and screws. It might reduce pain and swelling and help you use your wrist better sooner.
This study tests a surgery technique for treating recent wrist fractures using a tiny camera (arthroscopy) to help the doctor see inside your joint and fix the bone more precisely. It may help improve healing and reduce joint problems compared to standard surgery.
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.
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing broken wrist bones in adults. Researchers want to see which approach—using special screws or wires—works better for healing and function.
