Record History

  2. Study First Submitted
This study looks at children with forearm fractures that need surgery. The standard treatment uses titanium nails, which usually need to be removed in a second operation later. This study compares titanium nails with bioabsorbable nails, which gradually dissolve in the body and may help some children avoid another operation. The study will compare how quickly the fractures heal on X-ray, and also look at complications, recovery, function, and the family's experience. Children who need surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments so the comparison is fair. Hypothesis: The researchers expect that fractures treated with bioabsorbable nails will heal almost as quickly as fractures treated with titanium nails, while reducing the need for later implant removal surgery.
