Lunocapitate fusion surgery for snac wrist
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery that fuses two wrist bones to treat a condition called SNAC wrist, which is a type of arthritis from an old wrist fracture. It may help reduce pain and improve function if other treatments haven't worked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a condition called SNAC wrist (arthritis after a scaphoid fracture) that causes pain or stiffness.

This study compares two surgical options for certain types of advanced wrist arthritis—one with partial wrist fusion alone, and one with partial wrist fusion plus removal of a small wrist bone. It may help find which approach works better for pain and function after surgery.
This trial compares two types of wrist surgery for osteoarthritis in the wrist bones (SLAC/SNAC stage II–III). It may help you and your surgeon choose the procedure that best improves pain and wrist function for your specific wrist arthritis pattern.
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 trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
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 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.
