DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE

This study tests a new surgical technique for children aged 3-15 with wrist fractures that didn't heal properly with a cast. The method uses a special nail and wire to hold the bone in place. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better healing and less pain.

This study tests whether remote monitoring (video calls, online surveys) is as safe and effective as standard in-person follow-up after wrist fracture surgery. About 160 adults who had surgery for a broken wrist will be randomly assigned to virtual or in-person care. The goal is …

This study aimed to see if a sedative given as a nose spray (dexmedetomidine) could work as well as standard IV medicine (ketamine) for children needing a broken forearm bone reset. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

This study looks at whether moving the wrist immediately after surgery for a broken wrist helps people recover faster compared to wearing a cast for 2 weeks. About 240 adults aged 18-65 with a specific type of wrist fracture will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The…

This study follows about 1,500 adults with hip, shin, ankle, shoulder, or wrist fractures for up to one year after standard treatment. Researchers collect information on healing, daily function, pain, and complications using questionnaires and activity trackers. The goal is to be…

This study looks at whether wearing a splint and doing formal physical therapy are necessary after surgery for a broken wrist. About 230 adults who had wrist fracture surgery will be followed to see if early movement (no splint, self-guided exercises) leads to better recovery and…

This study was designed to test whether a pre-surgery education session with an occupational therapist helps people recovering from hand surgeries like thumb arthritis, broken wrist, or tendon repair. Researchers planned to measure if patients attended their therapy appointments …

This study looks at whether a new, minimally invasive tool can measure bone tissue properties to better identify women at risk for hip and wrist fractures. Researchers will compare these measurements with standard bone density tests in 190 women, including those with recent fract…

This study looks at two methods for setting the pressure of a tourniquet (a tight band that stops blood flow) during wrist fracture surgery. The goal is to see which method gives surgeons a clearer view and causes fewer side effects like pain or muscle damage. About 140 adults ha…
