Wrist ligament repair surgery trial
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair a torn ligament in the wrist (the scapholunate ligament) using a part of a nearby tendon. It may be an option for people with this specific wrist injury who meet the health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different ways of moving the wrist after surgery to repair a specific wrist ligament (the scapholunate ligament). The goal is to see which type of early motion leads to better recovery.
This trial uses a CT scan to diagnose a specific type of wrist instability (scapholunate) in people aged 18 or older. It aims to see if the scan can detect the problem without needing more invasive tests.
This study looks at how well a specific wrist surgery (dorsal ligamentoplasty with an internal brace) works over time for people with scapholunate instability, a condition where the bones in the wrist are not stable. It aims to understand the long-term outcomes and help doctors know if this surgery is a good option.
This study looks at people aged 18–60 who have ongoing, painful wrist instability from a fully torn scapholunate ligament. It may help improve surgical approaches by carefully selecting patients whose ligament tear is complete and causing measurable joint looseness.
This trial compares two types of wrist surgery for osteoarthritis in the wrist bones (SLAC/SNAC stage II–III). It may help you and your surgeon choose the procedure that best improves pain and wrist function for your specific wrist arthritis pattern.
This study compares two surgical options for certain types of advanced wrist arthritis—one with partial wrist fusion alone, and one with partial wrist fusion plus removal of a small wrist bone. It may help find which approach works better for pain and function after surgery.
