Simpler follow-up plan for kids with forearm fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a simpler follow-up plan for children with a broken forearm near the wrist. It may mean fewer doctor visits and X-rays while still making sure the bone heals well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 12 years old.
- Your child has a specific type of forearm fracture near the wrist (distal metaphyseal).
- Your child is being treated at Ramathibodi Hospital or Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute.
- Your child came to the hospital within 3 days of the injury.

This trial tests if checking your recovery with a smartphone or computer at home works as well as in-person visits after wrist fracture surgery. You would use a device to share updates with your care team instead of traveling to the clinic.
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 different ways to fix broken forearm bones in adolescents aged 10 to 16. It may help if your child has a fracture that needs surgery because the bones are too angled or shifted.
This study looks at how activity affects healing in children with certain forearm fractures that don't need surgery. The goal is to learn if specific activities can cause the bone to shift out of place.
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 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.
