Distal Radius Fracture
Analysis of Implant Placement in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures in Western Brittany (REDIRA)
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of design on plate position at the level of the distal radius. Six anterior wrist plates design were analyzed relative to the watershed line using the Soong classification.

Distal Radius Fracture, Forearm Fracture
Ultrasound Guided Axillary Nerve Block Compared to Hematoma Block in Patients With Closed Reposition of Distal Forearm Fractures
Rationale: For distal forearm fractures the investigators propose an anaesthetic method using an ultrasound guided axillary nerve block (ANB, an established technique) for pain reduction during reposition dislocated fractures.
- Trial name
- NCT05674383
- Testing
- Axillary plexus nerve block, Fracture hematoma block
- Where
- Netherlands
- Volunteers
- 117 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Arm Fracture, Surgical Site Infection
Chlorhexidine and/or Betadine Prep in Pediatric Arm Surgery Following Trauma
There have been numerous studies demonstrating surgical site infections that arise from contamination at time of surgery or by seeding from other sites in the body which arise from organisms normally found on the skin.
- Trial name
- NCT04225065
- Testing
- Chlorhexidine, Betadine
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
