NCT ID NCT07645768
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a newer surgical plate placed on the front of the arm is as safe and effective as the standard method using two plates on the back. It involves 68 adults with a specific type of broken arm bone. The goal is to see which approach leads to better arm function and fewer complications like nerve damage.
