PARTE Trial Summary

This trial is comparing two techniques for partial wrist fusion in people with arthritis caused by prior injury. One group will have a four-corner fusion, and the other group will have a three-corner or capitolunate fusion with triquetral excision.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people with stage II or III wrist arthritis from SLAC or SNAC who need surgery. It's not for those who can't read English, lack a stable address, won't do follow-ups, have other wrist arthritis types, mental/physical issues preventing consent, major hand joint problems, past major wrist surgery, infections or neuromuscular conditions affecting the arm.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two partial wrist fusion surgeries in treating post-traumatic wrist arthritis: Group A gets four-corner arthrodesis without removing a bone called the triquetrum; Group B has three-corner arthrodesis with triquetral excision.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects of these surgical procedures may include pain at the site of operation, reduced range of motion in the wrist, possible nerve damage leading to numbness or tingling sensations and complications related to healing such as infection.
