Bone glue for wrist fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken wrist (distal radius) that is unstable or out of place, and your doctor plans to fix it with metal plates and screws.
- Surgery must happen within 2 weeks of the injury.
- You are over 21 years old and live independently (can walk before the injury).
- No active infection, no recent fracture in the same bone, and no other major injuries to the same arm or hand (except a small break at the ulnar styloid, which is okay).
- You are not currently on chemotherapy, certain biologic drugs (like Enbrel), or have had radiation to the area.

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 looks at whether a bio-dissolving (self-absorbing) gel improves how well the wrist flexor tendons glide after surgery for a distal radius fracture. You may be randomly assigned to use the gel or not, and the researchers will measure wrist tendon and clinical outcomes to see if it helps.
This study compares two types of metal rods (one that dissolves over time, one permanent titanium) used to fix broken forearm bones in children. Researchers want to see which one helps the bone heal faster and works better overall.
This trial studies a type of wrist surgery that uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) to help fix a broken wrist bone. It may help people with a recent, serious wrist fracture that involves the joint surface.
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 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.
