Summary

This study looked at whether a steroid (glucocorticoid) injection given around the time of surgery could improve wrist movement and reduce pain in adults with a broken wrist. About 38 people were planned to take part, but the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the injection led to better function and less pain compared to no injection.
