New surgery aims to restore arm rotation in kids with rare bone condition
NCT ID NCT07162233
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure to correct a rare condition where the two bones in the forearm are fused together, limiting rotation. The surgery involves cutting and repositioning the bones, then using Kirschner wires to hold them in place. The study will enroll one child aged 4 to 12 to assess whether the procedure safely improves arm function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- derotation osteotomy using Kirschner wires
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this surgical technique could provide a reliable way to restore forearm rotation in children with this rare bone fusion.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (only 1 participant) and has not yet started. Results may not apply to all patients, and surgery carries risks like infection or recurrence.
