Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many participants are being recruited for this research project?

"Affirmative. The clinicaltrials.gov page for this trial reveals it is actively recruiting new participants, having been initially posted on April 5th 2021 and most recently updated August 27th 2021. Only 32 individuals are needed from 1 medical facility to complete the study's enrollment requirements."

Answered by AI

What is the primary goal of this clinical experiment?

"The main metric assessed over the course of a 12 month period is Operative Hand Passive Wrist Supination. Other subordinate objectives entail Radiographic evaluation of articular step off, volar tilt and radial height using specific imaging processing software."

Answered by AI

Is this research available to participants in its current state?

"This clinical study is actively recruiting, with its listing on the clinicaltrials.gov website first appearing on April 5th 2021 and being revised as recently as August 27th 2021."

Answered by AI

Is eligibility still available to join this research trial?

"This experiment is welcoming 32 participants aged 18 to 75 with a fracture that necessitates volar plate fixation. To be eligible, individuals must not have any comorbidities which would preclude them from undergoing surgery and their DRF needs to either be intra- or extra-articular."

Answered by AI

Does this investigation permit participants aged eighty or above?

"This medical study is available to individuals who have surpassed the age of consent and are younger than 75 years old."
