Dual fixation using a flexible intramedullary nail plus a low-profile 2.7 mm mini locked plate for distal ulna fractures

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center surgical intervention that combines an intramedullary flexible nail with a low-profile 2.7 mm mini locked plate to provide orthogonal (hybrid) stabilization of displaced or unstable distal ulna fractures. The approach aims to share mechanical load between devices to improve biomechanical stability, reduce hardware failure, and permit earlier wrist mobilization. Adults aged 18 and older with isolated distal ulna fractures or those with associated distal radius fractures are eligible, while patients with severe open wounds (Gustilo type III), pathological fractures, or systemic conditions that impair bone healing are excluded. Clinical and radiological outcomes will be followed after surgery to document union, complication rates, and functional recovery at the treating center.
