Clinical Trial: Optimal Duration of Longitudinal Mechanical Traction in Displaced Radius Fractures: a Prospective Non-inferiority Study

U.S., Oct. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07861763) titled 'Optimal Duration of Longitudinal Mechanical Traction in Displaced Radius Fractures: a Prospective Non-inferiority Study' on Oct. 01.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if 1 minute of mechanical traction lines up a broken wrist bone as well as 5 or 10 minutes of traction in adults (18 years and older) who come to the emergency department with a displaced distal radius fracture (a broken wrist with the bone pieces out of place) that needs to be set and put in a cast. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is the bone position on X-ray after 1 minute of traction no worse than after 5 or 10 minutes? Bone posit...
