Study on wrist fracture stability criteria
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and live in or near Oslo, Norway
- You have a specific type of wrist fracture called AO class A2, A3, C1, or C2
- Your fracture is displaced backward (dorsally) by a certain amount on X-ray
- After the bone is straightened (reduced) by a doctor, the alignment is within certain limits on X-ray
- You do not have other fractures in the same arm, an open fracture, or a past wrist fracture as an adult

This study compares two types of splints (one that stays still and one that lets you move a little) to help people regain wrist motion after a broken wrist has healed. It may test whether a dynamic splint works better than a static one for persistent stiffness.
This trial compares three options after a simple wrist fracture: supervised physical therapy, a home exercise program, or no formal therapy. It aims to find which approach helps younger adults recover best.
This study compares two ways to support the wrist after surgery for a broken distal radius. One uses a compression bandage, the other uses a splint. The goal is to see which helps you heal and return to daily activities faster.
This trial tests whether teaching patients about daily activities soon after wrist fracture surgery helps them recover better. It is for adults who had surgery for a broken wrist and are within 2 weeks of their operation.
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 trial studies how satisfied patients are with recovery after a specific type of wrist fracture (distal radius) and how well recovery goes. It may help improve care and rehabilitation for people healing from this injury.
