Wrist fracture study: which surgery heals better?
NCT ID NCT07523386
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common surgical methods—cannulated screws and K-wires—for fixing broken wrists in adults aged 18-60. The goal is to see which approach leads to better bone healing and hand strength. About 34 participants will be assigned to one of the two treatments and followed for results.
