Headless screw for hand bone fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests using a headless screw to fix simple fractures in the middle of the hand's long bones. It may help you heal faster and move your hand earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a simple break in the middle part of a metacarpal bone (the long bones in your hand).
- The break happened within the last 1 to 2 weeks.
- You do not have any other broken bones in the same hand.
- Your fracture is not a compound (open) fracture or a head-splitting fracture.

This trial compares two surgical techniques for fixing broken bones in the middle of the foot (metatarsals). If your fracture couldn't stay in place with a cast alone, this study tests which pinning method works better for healing and foot function.
This trial tests if fixing a specific type of broken wrist bone (the ulna) with both a flexible rod and a small plate helps it heal better. It may be an option if you have a displaced or unstable ulna fracture, with or without a radius fracture.
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.
This trial tests a new way to fix certain broken hand bones (metacarpals) using a metal plate. It compares this method to other treatments to see which works better for healing and recovery.
This study tests two ways to fix certain breaks in the hand bones (metacarpals and finger bones). It aims to find which repair method works better for people who need surgery.
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.
