Studying a new surgery for hand bone fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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 tests the best way to treat certain broken bones in your hand (specifically in the middle section of bones that support your fingers). Researchers want to see if a newer treatment approach helps your hand heal better and work normally again.
This study tests two ways to fix certain breaks in the hand bones (metacarpals and finger bones). It aims to find which repair method works better for people who need surgery.
This trial tests a new bone glue (called TN-MFF) that is used along with standard metal plates and screws to fix a broken wrist. The glue is meant to help the bone heal better and might reduce the need for extra hardware or later removal.
This trial looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
This trial tests using a headless screw to fix simple fractures in the middle of the hand's long bones. It may help you heal faster and move your hand earlier.
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.
