About this study

Official title: Surgical Plate Osteosynthesis of Distal Radius Fractures. Prospective Study of the Locking Compression Plate (LCP)

Primary objective of the study is to demonstrate specific indications for the

surgical treatment of distal radius fractures using the locking compression

plate.

Read the detailed description

In addition the differences between the surgical treatment compared to

conservative treatment with respect to fracture healing, functional outcome

and subject satisfaction will be analysed after 6w./6m./1y./2y.

Being tested
Locking Compression Plate 2,4mm, Locking Compression Plate 3,5mm
Keywords
Locking Compression Plate, Conservative treatment, Surgical treatment, Radius fractures, AO 23
Medical subject headings

  • Locking Compression Plate 2,4mmDevice

  • Locking Compression Plate 3,5mmDevice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. - Document specific indications for the surgical treatment of distal radius fractures using the LCP

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. - Primary reduction and maintenance of reduction of the plate fixation

  2. - Functional outcome scoring using "Garetland and Werley, DASH and SF-36 scoring

  3. - Patient and surgeon satisfaction

  4. - Analysis of the occured complications

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Locking Compression Plate 2,4mm and Locking Compression Plate 3,5mm in people with Distal Radius Fractures, run by AO Clinical Investigation and Publishing Documentation at 3 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Germany, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study completed). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

- Document specific indications for the surgical treatment of distal radius fractures using the LCP. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2007.
