Steroid injection for broken wrist: did it help?
NCT ID NCT03898154
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a steroid (glucocorticoid) injection given around the time of surgery could improve wrist movement and reduce pain in adults with a broken wrist. About 38 people were planned to take part, but the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the injection led to better function and less pain compared to no injection.
