NCT ID NCT07616947

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two common surgeries for broken hand bones: placing a small screw inside the bone versus using pins and a cast. About 100 adults with hand fractures will be randomly assigned to one of these treatments. The goal is to see which method helps people regain movement, return to work sooner, and have fewer complications.
