  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients undergoing total wrist denervation (TWD) between January 1995 and December 2013 at Brest CHRU, performed by the same senior surgeon. TWD was indicated in a routine procedure for degenerative diseases of the wrist (post-traumatic osteoarthritis lesions and inflammatory diseases). The aetiologies are varied: SLAC-wrist, distal radius fractures, SNAC-wrist, Kienböck disease, chondrocalcinosis, peri-lunar luxation of the carpus, rheumatoid arthritis, haemochromatoses, ruptures of the luno-triquetral ligament.

Who may be able to join

  • patient undergoing total wrist denervation between January 1995 and December 2013 at Brest CHRU, performed by the same senior surgeon

Who cannot join

  • patient who had another intervention at the same time (confounding factor)
  • refusal expressed by the patient to participate in the study

About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of total wrist denervation on pain by assessing the surgery survival.

The residual functional wrist's quality and the patients' satisfaction will also be evaluate.

Read the detailed description

The degenerative diseases of the wrist are numerous and include both post-traumatic osteoarthritis lesions and inflammatory diseases. In any case, one of the main reasons for consultation is pain. In case of inefficiency of a well-conducted medical treatment (splints, anti-inflammatories, infiltrations), surgical management remains difficult because of the multitude of treatments that can be offered: partial or total arthrodesis of the wrist, prosthetic arthroplasties, pyrocarbon implants or proximal row carpectomy. But these treatments are heavy and can potentially be sources of complications such as stiffness, loss of strength or progressive wear of the implant.

Total wrist denervation is an alternative since 1966. The original technique follows an anatomical study of the innervation of the upper limb. This technique has been proven to significantly improve pain without major after effects. Several teams demonstrated a decrease in pain associated with conserved strength and mobility, but few studies have studied the long-term results of this technique, especially on the absence of residual pain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of denervation on pain by assessing the surgery survival, the residual functional wrist's quality and the patients' satisfaction.

What is being measured

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

  1. survival over time

    duration (in years) of absence of surgical revision, and residual pain < or = 3 on a pain numerical scale (0 to 10, WHO criteria for mild pain)

    Measured: from date of surgery until the date of first documented failure (surgical revision; pain > 3), assessed up to the inclusion date

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. surgery survival over time

    duration (in years) of absence of surgical revision

    Measured: from date of surgery until the date of documented failure (surgical revision), assessed up to the inclusion date

  2. residual pain

    numeric pain rating scale (between 0 to 10; 0 equal no pain; 10 equal "worst pain imaginable")

    Measured: at the inclusion date

  3. residual functional wrist's quality

    Result of the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm and Shoulder Disabilities) score (between 0 to 100; 0 equal better result; 100 equal worst result)

    Measured: at the inclusion date

  4. patients' satisfaction (1)

    analogue scale between 0 to 10 at the last follow-up (0 equal minimum; 10 equal maximum)

    Measured: at the inclusion date

  5. patients' satsfaction (2)

    answer to "would you repeat this procedure again?"

    Measured: at the inclusion date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Wrist Arthritis and Survival, run by University Hospital, Brest 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 28 Feb 2020. 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 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?

survival over time (time frame: from date of surgery until the date of first documented failure (surgical revision; pain > 3), assessed up to the inclusion date). 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 28 Feb 2020.
