Comparing surgery types for broken hand bones
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods to fix simple breaks in the hand bones (not the thumb). The goal is to find the best way to help your hand heal and regain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a simple break in one of your hand bones (not the thumb).
- The break is not near a joint and is not sticking out through the skin.
- You have not had surgery on that same bone before.
- You are able to give your consent to participate.

This study compares two ways to treat certain finger bone fractures: using a small pin through the skin or using a splint. It also looks at early movement to help prevent stiffness and improve hand function.
This study compares two ways to treat certain types of broken finger bones: surgery with pins versus a cast. It aims to find which approach leads to better healing and use of the finger.
This trial compares two treatments for a common hand fracture—the boxer's fracture—to see if one is better. It will help people recover quickly without surgery.
This trial tests a new way to fix certain broken hand bones (metacarpals) using a metal plate. It compares this method to other treatments to see which works better for healing and recovery.
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 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.
