What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether certain X-ray and CT features can predict if a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) will stay in place without surgery after a doctor repositions the bone. Adults aged 18 to 65 with a specific type of fracture will get an extra X-ray at 3 months and a CT scan the day after the repositioning. The goal is to find radiological signs that indicate stability, which could help guide treatment decisions and avoid unnecessary operations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Additional X-ray and CT scans of the wrist
What this could lead to
If certain X-ray or CT features reliably predict fracture stability, doctors might better decide who needs surgery and who can heal without it.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it can't prove cause and effect. The criteria may not be accurate enough to change practice, and extra radiation exposure is a minor risk.
