Osteolysis after PEEK suture anchor hand/wrist surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific type of implant used in hand or wrist surgery can cause bone loss around the implant over time. If you had this type of surgery between 2014 and 2024, and you have an X-ray from right after surgery, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 99 years old.
- You had hand or wrist surgery with a suture anchor between January 2014 and January 2024.
- You have an X-ray taken during or right after surgery (within 14 days) that shows the anchor tunnels.
- You do not have an inflammatory or autoimmune disease.
- You are not taking medication that affects your immune system.
- You have not had a follow-up surgery on the same body part.

This study looks at how bone density around a new knee replacement changes over time, comparing two different types of knee implants. It may help your surgeon choose the best option for you.
This study looks at how often certain shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee fractures happen around orthopedic hardware (implants), and how they affect recovery and outcomes. Results may help doctors choose better treatment and predict risks for patients with these fracture types.
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 trial tests how well Lok™ suture anchors work for repairing certain shoulder problems like rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, or partial tears. It is for people whose MRI confirms the injury and who haven't had prior shoulder surgery on that side.
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 follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
