Double fixation for broken lower ulna bone
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if fixing a specific type of broken wrist bone (the ulna) with both a flexible rod and a small plate helps it heal better. It may be an option if you have a displaced or unstable ulna fracture, with or without a radius fracture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a displaced break in the lower part of your ulna (one of the two forearm bones).
- Your ulna fracture is unstable (the pieces don't stay in place).
- Your injury may also include a break in the other forearm bone (radius).
- You do not have an open fracture with severe skin or muscle damage (Gustilo type III).
- You do not have a bone tumor or a condition like uncontrolled diabetes or severe osteoporosis that slows bone healing.

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 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 trial compares two surgical plate methods to fix a broken collarbone in the middle part (midshaft). The goal is to see which method works better for healing and function after an acute, fully displaced fracture.
This study looks at treatment for children’s wrist (distal radius) fractures that are very displaced but not involving the growth plate. It may help doctors find the best way to reset and stabilize the bone when the fracture is recent.
This study looks at a special plate and screw system to repair fractures of the lower end of the upper arm bone (near the elbow). It aims to see how well the surgery helps healing and recovery.
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.
