Camera-assisted wrist fracture repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a type of wrist surgery that uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) to help fix a broken wrist bone. It may help people with a recent, serious wrist fracture that involves the joint surface.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You broke your wrist (distal radius) less than 14 days ago.
- The break goes into the wrist joint and the bone pieces are at least 2 mm apart even after the doctor tried to realign them.
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You may have torn ligaments in the wrist, which is common with this injury.
- You do not have other broken bones or serious injuries in the same arm, and you do not have an open fracture or nerve damage.
- You do not have uncontrolled chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure.

This trial looks at a less invasive way to fix an unstable wrist fracture using a surgical approach designed to help bones heal. You might be considered if your fracture is recent and unstable, but certain types of open or complicated injuries may rule you out.
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 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 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 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 registry collects information and X-ray images from people who had surgery for a distal radius (wrist) fracture. It helps researchers improve fracture care by using real-world treatment and outcome data.
