Automated detection of perilunate dislocation in the wrist

Study CARPUS : " Development of Automated Real-time Algorithms for Detection of Dislocation of the Carpus "

Observational University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT05458921

This study is testing a new way to automatically spot a serious wrist injury called perilunate dislocation in X-rays to help doctors catch it earlier and improve patient care.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on developing automated real-time algorithms to detect perilunate dislocation of the carpus, a serious wrist injury that often goes unnoticed. The study aims to analyze carpal radiographs from patients treated at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg to identify lesions associated with this condition. By improving detection methods, the study seeks to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the risk of long-term complications such as osteoarthritis. The research will involve adult patients who have consented to the use of their medical data for this purpose.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been treated for carpal dislocation at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg.

Not a fit: Patients who have expressed opposition to participating in the study or those under legal protection will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to earlier detection and better management of perilunate dislocations, potentially reducing the incidence of osteoarthritis in affected patients.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using automated algorithms for injury detection is gaining traction, this specific application for perilunate dislocation is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
