Management of Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures : Conservative Treatment Versus Surgical Reduction

Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To compare functional and radiological assessment between two groups of children with displaced distal radius fractures : those who will receive surgical reduction and those who will not.

NCT ID: NCT06453447 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Complex Regional Pain Syndromes

Prednisone for CRPS in Distal Radius Fracture

Start date: September 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Wrist fractures are the most prevalent adult fracture. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a common complication that can occur, leading to permanent disability and is costly to the patient and healthcare system. In addition, amidst the opioid epidemic, the risk of increased opioid use in patients with CRPS prompts the need to find viable treatment strategies. This study aims to evaluate an anti-inflammatory medication, prednisone, in the early treatment of CRPS. Patients with wrist fractures who undergo surgical treatment will be randomized to receiving placebo vs prednisone for 2 weeks. Clinical assessments in the follow up period will be compared.

Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The randomized controlled study which compare clinical outcomes (functional score) in patients with distal radius fractures who underwent open reduction with internal fixation and received intra-articular steroid injections to those who received placebo injections.

NCT ID: NCT06384456 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Distal Radius Fractures

Topical TRanexamic Acid vs. Placebo on Acute Postoperative Pain Following DRF Fixation

TRADR
Start date: August 2024
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to find out whether the use of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) into the surgical wound will result in less post-operative pain, less pain killer use, and better post-operative use of the wrist in people undergoing surgery for a wrist fracture compared to not using topical TXA (placebo).

Wrist Fractures Management With Arthroscopic Assistance Under Walant - Exploratory Study

WALANPOIGNE
Start date: June 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Wrist articular fractures are more difficult to treat and rehabilitation takes longer. Furthermore, these joint fractures are frequently accompanied by ligament lesions of the carpal bones. For these reasons, it is strongly recommended to check the interior of the wrist joint. This check can be done with wrist arthroscopy. Therefore, fracture reduction can be improved, "step of stairs" can be eliminated under arthroscopic control and ligament rupture of carpal bones can be treated. WALANT anesthesia (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) designates a new local anesthesia technique. This technique which allows to maintain the arm or fingers mobility offers several significant advantages: - Greater precision of the surgical procedure. - A reduction in discomfort, risks and related adverse effects to anesthesia. - Faster recovery. WALANT technique is very comfortable for patient and fits perfectly with principles of Enhanced Recovery in Surgery. In this context, this study is based on the hypothesis that it is possible to combine arthroscopy and the WALANT anesthesia technique for reducing wrist fractures

NCT ID: NCT06379490 Recruiting - Lidocaine Clinical Trials

Ultrasound-guided Infraclavicular Block With Lidocaine or Ropivacaine for Closed Reduction of Distal Radius Fractures

Start date: April 23, 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

To investigate the feasibility of the lateral infraclavicular plexus brachialis (LIC) block for acute closed reduction of distal radius fractures, the investigators will compare the pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing properties of the LIC block with short- and long-acting local anesthetics in different concentrations but at the same volume. In addition to motor and sensory blockade during repositioning, feasibility will also be assessed by other patient-related and block-related factors, as well as by factors related to the repositioning and plastering procedure.

NCT ID: NCT06365710 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Orthopedic Procedures, Physical Therapy Modalities, Postoperative Care, Rehabilitation, Wrist Fractures

Physiotherapy vs Telerehabilitation After Volar Plating of Distal Radius Fracture

Start date: November 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Trial purpose is to research the outcome comparing traditional physiotherapy vs telerehabilitation after volar plating of distal radius fracture. Patients with distal radius fracture that meet the operative criteria set by the Finnish Current Care guidelines are randomized (1:1 computer generated sequence with random block size) to two parallel groups and will undergo operative treatment and traditional physiotherapy vs telerehabilitation. Baseline data is collected preoperatively and patients are followed at 1, 3 and 12 months after enrollment. The primary end-point is 3 months and the primary outcome is the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE).

NCT ID: NCT06343467 Completed - Clinical trials for Distal Radius Fractures

Do Generic Volar Locking Plates Provide Similar Outcomes at a Reduced Cost?

Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Across orthopedics, the investigators will be using the generic volar locking plates for patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the distal radius using a block schedule, meaning one month we the generic implants and one month we use conventional implants from the surgeon's brand of choice. At the end of each month the health system will switch which type of implants (generic vs. conventional) they will use at their facilities. From a quality perspective each patient will be monitored both short and long term for complication and reoperation. This will be done through chart review.

NCT ID: NCT06313489 Active, not recruiting - Pathology Clinical Trials

Rupture of Thumb's Long Extensor Tendon After Fracture of the Distal Radius, Study of Muscle and Tendon Pathology

Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Fractures of the wrist (fractures of the distal radius) are one of the most common fractures with almost 60 000 injuries per year in Sweden. One known complication following these fractures is that the long extensor tendon of the thumb ruptures (extensor pollicis longus tendon, EPL tendon). This leads to disability to stretch the thumb in order to grip bigger objects. Earlier studies show that the tendon ruptures in about 3-5% of all wrist fractures. These ruptures occur some weeks to months after the fracture. There are different theories about the cause of the rupture. One theory is that the fracture creates a bleeding in the tight area that the tendon lies, leading to high pressure and therefore low blood supply to the tendon. Another theory is that the tendon comes in contact with some sharp bonny fragments in this area that injures the tendon when it moves. Such tendon ruptures need almost always some type of surgical intervention in order to reconstruct the function of the thumb. A common problem is that the quality of the tendon is insufficient for just suturing it. Another problem is that the muscle becomes stiff after the rupture. However, there is no objective method to determine how stiff the muscle is. The most common treatment option is the transfer of one of the two extensor tendons of the index finger to the thumb, a so-called extensor indicis proprius to extensor pollicis longus transfer. The motivation behind this operation is that the muscle of EPL is so stiff that cannot be used to lift the thumb. However, there is no consensus about the time period after which the EPL muscle can be used to reconstruct the function of thumb. The study aims to investigate the microscopical changes in the muscle and tendon of EPL after such a rupture. Better knowledge of these factors could lead to better understanding of the treatment options. The investigators plan to include in the study all patients that would get operated for an EPL tendon rupture after a fracture of the distal radius at the institution the study is conducted. After oral and written information to the patient and written consent the investigators will take some samples from the ruptured tendon and muscle for microscopical analysis.

NCT ID: NCT06299228 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Distal Radius Fractures

Is Sensorimotor Training Effective Following a Distal Radius Fracture?

Start date: April 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the short-term outcomes of individuals who have surgery (volar plate) for a wrist (distal radius) fracture who have routine hand therapy treatment versus routine hand therapy treatment and sensorimotor activities. Individuals who meet inclusion criteria at the facilities collecting data will be invited to participate. If they agree to participate, they will randomly and blindly (via concealed envelopes) be assigned to the control (routine treatment) or the sensorimotor treatment group. Data collection will occur at 3- and 6-weeks post initiation of skilled therapy and will include measurement of joint position sense, function via the Patient Rated Wrist and Hand, pain via the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and range of motion at the digits and wrist.
