A dissolving pin for children's wrist fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of small pin, called the RemeOs DrillPin, used to fix a broken bone in the forearm near the wrist in children. The pin is designed to dissolve over time, which may mean no second surgery to remove it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a fracture of the distal radius (the forearm bone near the wrist).
- You, as the parent, must give written permission for your child to take part.
- Your child must agree to take part in the study.
- If your child has started menstruating (for girls), she must have a negative pregnancy test before joining.
- Your child cannot have other broken bones, an open fracture, or certain health problems such as kidney disease or poorly controlled diabetes.

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 trial tests a special screw that dissolves over time to fix broken bones in the ankle, knee, or elbow. It may help children and teens avoid a second surgery to remove metal screws.
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—casting versus percutaneous pinning—to treat certain distal (near the wrist) forearm fractures in children. It aims to find which method works best for healing and function, especially in specific fracture types.
This study compares two types of small nails used to fix broken forearm bones in children: one that dissolves over time (bioabsorbable) and one made of titanium that stays in. The goal is to see which heals faster and if the dissolving nail can avoid a second surgery to remove it.
This trial tests pins made of a special magnesium alloy that may dissolve over time, which could avoid the need for a second surgery to remove them. It is for people having surgery to fix a hammertoe, a condition where a toe bends downward like a claw.
