Amboise, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07301242Recruiting
Study of ciprofol in older adults having limb surgery
This trial studies how the drug ciprofol works in older adults undergoing elective orthopedic limb surgery. The goal is to understand how the body processes the drug and how it affects patients, which may help improve its use for anesthesia in the elderly.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT05087667Recruiting
Polymer wiring for arm or thigh fractures: tested vs standard care
This trial compares a new type of polymer cerclage (a strong wire used to support a fracture) against standard cerclage wiring used in routine care. It may help doctors learn which option works better for healing in certain arm (humerus) or thigh (femur) fractures.
Agen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06245993Recruiting
Leg shape after thigh-bone fracture in young children treated with traction
This study looks at how children's legs heal after a thigh bone break that was treated with gentle skin traction. It helps doctors understand if any lasting shape changes happen, and why that matters for your child's future growth.
AmiensAges Up to 6 years - NCT04076735Recruiting
Compare fixing vs replacing certain leg bone fractures in seniors
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT05023369RecruitingPhase 4
Hip replacement patients may get an added steroid injection
This trial tests whether a steroid injection placed around the hip after hip replacement can reduce pain and shorten hospital stay. It is meant for older adults who are having hip replacement due to a broken femoral neck bone.
LuganoAges 50–90 - NCT05734651Recruiting
Study of PROMIS stem in hip replacement patients
This study looks at people who had a hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) using the PROMIS stem. The goal is to evaluate how this specific hip part performs in real-world use.
Sankt Johann in Tirol, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT07651735Recruiting
