Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Informed consent
  • Patients able to read and understand the same consent.
  • Patients over 18 years
  • Broken wrist surgery with criteria based on the following criteria (must meet all):
  • Patients functionally independent, ie, they can make the purchase without help, categorized according Mackenney or patients who require assisted support by crutches / walker for walking.
  • Radiographic unacceptable reduction after 1 attempted closed reduction in the ER, defined as:
Show all 11Show fewer
  • dorsal angulation> 0 °
  • ulnar variance> 3mm postreduction.
  • Step articular> 1mm (20)
  • radial inclination <15 °
  • Patients with unstable fracture.

Who cannot join

  • Type III open fractures of Gustilo and Anderson.
  • Bilateral fractures (not acceptable include more than one doll per patient for the analysis of the variables in the study, always choosing the wrist of the dominant hand).
  • Fractures associated ipsilateral upper limb affection (except distal ulnar fracture).
  • Fracture or serious injury prior ipsilateral wrist.
  • Medical criteria that contraindicate surgery.
  • Patients with low functional demand, categorized as dependent as Mackenney, ie, they need help to go shopping and do not require assisted support by crutches / walker for walking.
  • Patients with tumor lesions secondary processes (eg osteosarcoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, multiple myeloma), congenital metabolic (eg osteogenesis imperfecta) and others involving themselves poor prognosis associated with disease.
  • Women with suspected pregnancy or pregnancy can not participate in this clinical trial because the collection of monitoring data is expected performing radiographic examinations, in case of pregnancy, would be contraindicated.

About this study

Official title: Open and Controlled Trial to Assess the Arthroscopy Use in Patients Undergoing Wrist Fracture Surgery by Volar Plate

The use of arthroscopy with the surgery of wrist fractures has a great health and economic impact (prolongs the time of surgery, requires adequately trained personnel, increases the time and surgical expenses and the risk of complications, however, in return ameliorate the prognosis and improves the functional recovery). There are few clinical trials showing a sufficient level of evidence in comparing the results of the surgical treatment of these fractures with volar plate and added arthroscopy so it is necessary to perform a clinical trial with an appropriate design and a sufficient sample size to elucidate the usefulness of arthroscopy in wrist fractures. Therefore, the investigators want to perform an open and controlled clinical trial to adequately analyze the role of arthroscopy in the surgical treatment of wrist fractures in the investigators hospitals.

The main objective of the study is to probe the arthroscopy effectiveness in the functionality of the injured wrist by PRWE (a questionnaire assessing pain and wrist function) between the treatment groups of the trial at 12 months after surgery and for this the investigators plan a phase IV multicenter clinical trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing arthroscopy + volar plate and Volar plate in people with Wrist Injuries, run by Hospital San Carlos, Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 11 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Patient-rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionary score (time frame: 12 months after intervention). 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 22 Oct 2024.
