Wiring direction for wrist fracture repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing wires to fix a broken wrist. It looks at whether the wires should cross from one side or the other of the bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken wrist that does not go into the joint.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your fracture is a simple type (Frykmann type 1 or 2).
- You have not had wrist surgery before for this injury.
- You do not have an open wound or major nerve/blood vessel damage.
- You are done growing (no open growth plates).

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 compares two ways to support the wrist after surgery for a broken distal radius. One uses a compression bandage, the other uses a splint. The goal is to see which helps you heal and return to daily activities faster.
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 trial compares three options after a simple wrist fracture: supervised physical therapy, a home exercise program, or no formal therapy. It aims to find which approach helps younger adults recover best.
This trial is testing two ways of using small wires (K-wires) to hold a child's broken elbow bone in place after it's been set. The goal is to see which method keeps the bone correctly aligned as it heals.
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing certain finger fractures: a small screw inside the bone (IM screw) versus a thin wire (K-wire). Both are common techniques; this trial aims to see which provides better recovery and comfort.
