U.S., April 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07536581) titled 'Time to Healing in Displaced Pediatric Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures Treated With Bioabsorbable Compared to Titanium Intramedullary Nails' on April 11.
Brief Summary: This study looks at children with forearm fractures that need surgery. The standard treatment uses titanium nails, which usually need to be removed in a second operation later. This study compares titanium nails with bioabsorbable nails, which gradually dissolve in the body and may help some children avoid another operation.
The study will compare how quickly the fractures heal on X-ray, and also look at complications, recovery, function, and the family's experience. ...
