Clinical Trials

The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of proximal carpal row carpectomy (PRC) in patients under 40 years of age. Through a retrospective review and questionnaires, we will examine the overall results in these younger patients and elicit any confounders on their functional and pain outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to measure differences in distal radial-ulnar joint movement between injured and uninjured wrists using motion picture CT imaging (4DCT), with the hopes of establishing a less invasive diagnostic tool than arthroscopy.  The belief is that the precise location and characteristics of the injury can be determined by measuring joint spacing during wrist rotation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of partial and total wrist fusions in patients. Through a retrospective review and questionnaires, we will examine the overall results in these patients and elicit any confounders on their functional and pain outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to assess healthy controls without any history of wrist injury or diseases by using 4DCT scanning during wrist movement to characterize gapping at the scapholunate, radiolunate, and radioscaphoid joints, as well as the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) joint.  This will test the hypotheses that scapholunate and STT gapping distances and bilateral asymmetry will be greater in the resisted tasks as compared to the unresisted tasks in both male and female subjects, and that gapping in females will be greater than in males.

The study seeks to determine whether the 4DCT imaging technique can be used to replace current invasive diagnostic tests for ligament injuries of the wrist.
