NCT ID NCT02718170
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two ways to surgically fix unstable fractures in the long bones of the hand (metacarpals): using a buried wire inside the bone versus a plate and screws on the outside. The trial was stopped early after enrolling 25 adults. The goal was to see which method leads to better hand function and movement recovery.
