Camera-assisted surgery for recent wrist fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a surgery technique for treating recent wrist fractures using a tiny camera (arthroscopy) to help the doctor see inside your joint and fix the bone more precisely. It may help improve healing and reduce joint problems compared to standard surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a recent wrist fracture that happened less than 14 days ago
- Your age must be between 18 and 60 years old
- The broken bone must be displaced or have a gap of at least 2 mm after it was lined up
- You must not have other major injuries or fractures in the same arm
- The fracture must be closed (not open) and without nerve or blood vessel damage
- You must not have severe complications or uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure

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 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.
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 study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
