Can a blood test tell if your broken bone will heal quickly?
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell in your blood to see if it can predict how well a broken bone heals. If you have a certain broken bone and are getting surgery to fix it, you may be able to help find new ways to improve recovery.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT05805774Recruiting
Compare fixing versus replacing a fractured thigh bone
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT07221019RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief after leg injury: single shot vs. continuous numbing
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a leg injury: a single injection of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) versus a small tube that delivers numbing medicine for a few days (catheter). It is for people who have not used strong painkillers before and have a closed leg fracture.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07280169Recruiting
Comparing two surgical implants for broken thigh bone
This study compares two different surgical implants (a special plate versus a plate with a rod) used to fix a broken bone just above the knee. The goal is to see which one works better for healing.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02150850Recruiting

This registry follows people in Quebec who have had an atypical femur fracture (a specific type of thigh-bone fracture). It aims to better understand these injuries and support future care by collecting health information over time.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45 years+ - NCT04299022Recruiting
Study of ViviGen bone graft for fracture healing
This study follows people who are treated with a bone graft called ViviGen to help heal fractures, delayed healing, or non-healing (“non-union”) bone problems. The goal is to check how safe it is and how well it works in real-world orthopaedic care.
Orlando, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05292313Enrolling by invitation
Testing two ways to fix a lower thigh bone fracture
This trial studies whether using two implants works better than one to stabilize a break in the lower part of the thigh bone. It focuses on people who can get surgery quickly after arriving at the hospital and who can be followed for a full year.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 60–100 - NCT05410587Recruiting
Monitoring plate to improve healing after a femur fracture
This trial tests a special “monitoring” implant added to a surgical plate to track how a broken thigh bone (femur) is healing. It may help surgeons understand healing sooner so you can get the right weight-bearing and follow-up care.
HomburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07299851Recruiting
Fatty acid supplement for bone healing after a leg fracture
This trial tests whether a supplement made from cetylated fatty acids can help heal a simple leg bone fracture faster after surgery. You might be eligible if you have a specific type of leg fracture fixed with a metal rod inside the bone.
Deurne, AntwerpAges 18–85 - NCT06568770RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two nerve blocks for femur fracture surgery pain
This trial tests if one type of nerve block (PENG block) works better than another (S-FICB) for controlling pain during and after femur fracture surgery. Both blocks are guided by ultrasound to help with your recovery.
Sahiwal, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT06944964Recruiting
Single vs double implant for broken thigh bone near knee
This trial compares using one implant versus two implants to fix a broken thigh bone near the knee in older adults or those with certain health conditions. It aims to see which approach helps people heal better and recover more quickly.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 18–100 - NCT07481188Recruiting
Predicting survival after hip fracture with frailty and a score
This study looks at whether a simple score (Nottingham Hip Fracture Score) and a frailty check can help predict survival after hip fracture surgery. It aims to help doctors better understand risks for older adults who need hip surgery.
EdirneAges 60 years+ - NCT01747291Recruiting
Study of incomplete atypical bone fractures
This study follows people who have had a specific type of bone injury called an atypical fracture, or a similar fracture after little or no trauma. It aims to better understand who is affected and how these injuries behave over time.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 20–100 - NCT07179042Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Metformin for hip fracture recovery in older adults
This study tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help older adults recover better after hip fracture surgery. To join, you need to be 60+, have had a low-energy hip fracture fixed within 3 days, and be generally healthy without diabetes or kidney issues.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 60–90 - NCT07046052Recruiting
Pain block after hip fracture surgery: continuous vs. periodic injection
This trial compares two ways of delivering pain medication after hip fracture surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a steady continuous infusion or periodic small doses through a nerve block, to see which method works better for pain control.
Cork, CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07153302Recruiting
Can almonds help heal broken leg bones?
This study tests if eating almonds can help femur (thigh) or tibia (shin) fractures heal faster. If you have a fresh leg break and are 18 to 55, you may be able to join.
KarachiAges 18–55 - NCT06491420Recruiting
Hip arthroscopy for femoral head fractures
This trial explores whether a minimally invasive hip surgery (hip arthroscopy) can help people with a specific type of femoral head fracture called a Pipkin 1 fracture. It aims to see if this approach leads to better recovery than traditional open surgery.
Cairo, ManialAges 18–55 - NCT07309965Recruiting
Vibration therapy for healing after hip fracture in seniors
This study tests if adding gentle vibration to standard rehab helps older adults recover better after hip fracture surgery. You may qualify if you are 75 or older and recently had surgery for a broken hip.
