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 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 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.
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 whether one surgical technique (for stabilizing the upper-arm bone using a rod placed inside the bone) works better than another for adult humeral shaft fractures. It may help find the approach that leads to better healing and recovery.
This trial compares non-surgical care with two different surgical fixation methods for a displaced two-part shoulder (upper arm) fracture. It aims to see which approach leads to the best recovery and function.
