Summary

This study looked at 91 people who had a metal frame (XtraFix®) placed outside their body to hold broken wrist or shoulder bones in place. The goal was to see if the frame helps bones heal safely and works as intended. Researchers checked X-rays and tracked any problems, like infections or device issues, for at least a year after surgery.
