Wrist dislocation surgery with internal brace technique
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a surgical technique using four anchors and an internal brace to treat a type of wrist dislocation (perilunate). It may be an option if you've already had surgery for this injury and don't have broken wrist bones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (bone growth completed, age 18 to 88).
- You must have had surgery to fix a wrist dislocation (perilunate dislocation).
- You must not have any broken wrist bones along with the dislocation.
- You must not have had a wrist dislocation on the same side before.

This trial looks at how well treatment works for people with a perilunate wrist injury. You may be asked to follow a specific care plan after surgery, including therapy, check-in visits, and questionnaires.
This study looks at how well a specific wrist surgery (dorsal ligamentoplasty with an internal brace) works over time for people with scapholunate instability, a condition where the bones in the wrist are not stable. It aims to understand the long-term outcomes and help doctors know if this surgery is a good option.
This study compares two ways to surgically treat a specific type of wrist fracture (where the break extends into the joint). Researchers will compare a metal plate attached to the inside of the wrist versus an external fixator (a metal frame attached to the outside) to see which helps patients recover better.
This study looks at people aged 18–60 who have ongoing, painful wrist instability from a fully torn scapholunate ligament. It may help improve surgical approaches by carefully selecting patients whose ligament tear is complete and causing measurable joint looseness.
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair a torn ligament in the wrist (the scapholunate ligament) using a part of a nearby tendon. It may be an option for people with this specific wrist injury who meet the health requirements.
This study tests a new type of bone glue (called a bioresorbable adhesive) that is used during standard wrist surgery to help hold the broken bone together while it heals. The glue is designed to dissolve over time, and the study checks if it is safe and works well when added to the usual metal plate and screws.
