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.

Summary

This study looks at whether older adults (65+) with a displaced wrist fracture can be treated with just a cast, without first straightening the bone (closed reduction). The trial will compare pain and disability at 12 months between those who get a cast only and those who get the standard reduction plus cast. About 532 participants will be followed for up to 5 years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Casting (dorsal cast)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that older adults with a broken wrist can avoid a painful reduction procedure and still recover well with just a cast.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study. The results may not apply to everyone, and skipping reduction could lead to worse pain or function in some patients.
