New wrist surgery tracked for 5 years: will it hold up?
NCT ID NCT06493318
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 35 adults who had a specific wrist ligament surgery (dorsal ligamentoplasty with an internal brace) for scapholunate instability. Researchers will track them for five years to see how often the surgery fails and requires a second operation. The goal is to understand the long-term success of this procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dorsal ligamentoplasty reinforced with an internal brace (surgical procedure using a tendon graft and suture tape)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that this surgical technique provides lasting stability for the wrist, reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study (35 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery itself carries typical surgical risks like infection or nerve damage.
