Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Distal Radius Fracture on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Distal Radius Fracture is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    4 of 12 indexed trials (33.3%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates Distal Radius Fracture research.

    Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center accounts for 2 of 12 trials (16.7%). 11 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Distal Radius Fracture enrolment sits around 120 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 120 among the 12 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 5 of those (41.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Distal Radius Fracture research is mostly interventional.

    10 interventional and 2 observational studies make up this index (83.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
