U.S., Feb. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06808594) titled 'The Use of Adaptive Proximal Scaphoid Implant (APSI): Long Term Follow-up' on Jan. 11.
Brief Summary: Scaphoid proximal pole fracture with avascular necrosis is a complex surgical problem. In some cases, it's possible to perform a scaphoid hemiarthroplasty with an adaptative proximal scaphoid implant (APSI), made of pyrocarbon, replacing the necrotic proximal pole. APSI allows an early mobilization of the wrist, an optimal recovery of strength and a rapid return to normal daily and work activities without limitations. This implant delays palliative and more invasive surgical treatments in patients that are generally young with high f...
