Dissolving nails could spare kids a second surgery

NCT ID NCT07536581

Summary

This study compares two types of surgical nails used to fix broken forearms in children. The standard titanium nails often require a second surgery to remove them. Researchers are testing new bioabsorbable nails that dissolve in the body over time, which might let some children avoid that second operation. They will measure how quickly the bone heals and track recovery and complications to see if the new nails work as well as the old ones.
