Steroid injection after wrist fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a closed, unstable fracture of the wrist (distal radius) that requires surgery.
- You have already had surgery to fix the fracture with a metal plate and screws.
- You are not allergic to corticosteroids.
- Your diabetes is well-controlled (HbA1c 8 or below), if you have diabetes.
- You do not have an infection or torn tendon near the injured wrist.

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.
This trial tests whether a short course of the steroid prednisone can prevent or reduce complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after wrist surgery. It is for people who had a broken wrist fixed with a plate and screws and have a higher chance of developing CRPS.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether an injection made from your own microfat tissue mixed with platelet-rich plasma can reduce pain and improve function in radiocarpal (wrist) osteoarthritis. It compares this approach to a different standard treatment called total wrist denervation.
This study tests whether a steroid injection into the muscle can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with hand osteoarthritis. It is for those whose pain is moderate to severe and hasn't been helped enough by standard pain medications.
This study compares two common treatments—a corticosteroid injection or a wrist splint worn at night—for people who have carpal tunnel syndrome along with a rheumatic disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus). The goal is to see which works better for relieving symptoms.
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.
