Comparing two surgical treatments for wrist fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to support the wrist after surgery for a broken distal radius. One uses a compression bandage, the other uses a splint. The goal is to see which helps you heal and return to daily activities faster.
This study compares two ways to treat broken wrist bones in children: putting the arm in a cast versus having surgery. The goal is to find out which approach works better for healing.
This trial is studying how to tell if a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) is stable enough to heal well. It will compare different ways of measuring the break on X-rays to find the best criteria for deciding if surgery is needed.
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 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 surgical techniques for fixing a break in the middle of the upper arm bone. It aims to find which approach leads to better healing and recovery for patients.
