Terminated

Stopped early. The study ended before it was planned to and will not resume.

Trial summary

For les intra-articular fractures, plate osteosynthesis is the indicated technique. Despite the absence of consensus, in recent years, the use of open reduction associated with internal plate fixation has considerably developed. Indeed, this therapeutic option allows a more anatomical reduction and stable fixation. Read more about this study

About this study

For les intra-articular fractures, plate osteosynthesis is the indicated technique. Despite the absence of consensus, in recent years, the use of open reduction associated with internal plate fixation has considerably developed. Indeed, this therapeutic option allows a more anatomical reduction and stable fixation.

First-generation posterior plates presented complications related to the size of the plate, notably tendon lesions. Over the last ten years, a new generation of thinner anterior plates has reduced these complications.

In the literature, few studies have compared these two techniques in terms of functional and radiological outcomes. The hypothesis of this research is that osteosynthesis using a posterior plate is more effective than that with an anterior plate in terms of functional recovery in patients older than 45 years.

Being tested
DASH score, X-ray, posterior osteosynthesis, Anterior osteosynthesis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DASH score, X-ray and posterior osteosynthesis in people with Distal Intra-articular Radius Fracture With a Dorsal Tilt, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of performance). 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?

Evaluation of functional recovery using the DASH questionnaire (time frame: 6 months). 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 Feb 2024.
