Active clinical trials for "Wrist Injuries"

extremity trauma is a frequent reason for emergency room visits. There is an increase in the use of CT scanners in extremity trauma, due to a greater sensitivity of detection than X-rays, particularly for "occult fractures" and for the organization of treatment, particularly surgical treatment. As the number of CT scans increases, the reduction of the delivered dose has become a subject of interest. Among the many methods used, the use of iterative reconstruction has enabled a substantial reduction in the delivered dose without compromising image quality: low-dose and ultra-low-dose protocols (effective dose equivalent to the effective dose of the Diagnostic Reference Levels of radiographs from the same region of interest) have been developped, but have not yet been evaluated in extremity trauma. The subject of our feasibility study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultra-low dose CT compared to radiographs in patients consulting for extremity trauma in the emergency room. The recent implementation in our department of a scanner dedicated to low-dose explorations as well as the optimization of protocols has allowed the realization of ultra-low-dose scans since June 2017.

Compare various dynamic biomechanical markers (distances and angles) in the wrist during dynamic CT studies in three groups of patients: Normal subjects, with scapholunate instability and with other types of wrist instability.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether standard volume computed tomography (CT) has impact on treatment in patients with suspicion of fractures of the wrist and carpus.

The purpose of our study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MR arthrography of the wrist at 1.5, 3.0, and 7.0T with wrist arthroscopy as reference standard.

Self-inflicted wrist injuries require special psychiatric knowledge and tactical skills. There is no protocol for treating such injuries. We analyze self-inflicted wrist injuries and compare them to traumatic wrist injuries.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian.
