Two surgical options for shinbone fractures in teens
This study compares two types of surgery for a certain kind of shinbone (tibia) fracture in teenagers. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and recovery with fewer complications.

Animated video for kids having elbow pins removed
This trial tests whether watching a short animated video before getting metal pins removed from a broken elbow can help reduce pain and anxiety in children. It compares the video to the usual care, which is just talking to the child.
Karachi, SindhAges 4–12 - NCT07473947Recruiting
Study of bioabsorbable screws for ankle, knee, and elbow fractures in kids
This trial tests a special screw that dissolves over time to fix broken bones in the ankle, knee, or elbow. It may help children and teens avoid a second surgery to remove metal screws.
TurkuAges Up to 17 years - NCT05413707Recruiting
CT-measured ankle fracture study for specific break pattern
This study looks at adults with a specific type of ankle fracture involving the back part of the ankle bone (posterior malleolus) plus a certain side fracture. It uses CT scan measurements to guide how the fracture is classified and studied, and it requires you to be willing and able to follow study instructions.
Bergen, VestlandAges 18–65 - NCT06521671Recruiting
Fracture healing after hip surgery in younger adults
This trial tests whether a new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
AarhusAges 18–65 - NCT06286670Recruiting
Comparing one versus two implants for thigh bone breaks
This trial is testing whether using two metal implants to fix a broken thigh bone (near the knee) works better than using just one. It aims to help patients with certain types of fractures that need surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07775690Recruiting
Comparing two plate types for mid-upper arm fracture surgery
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing a break in the middle of the upper arm bone. It aims to find which approach leads to better healing and recovery for patients.
Sāhīwāl, Punjab ProvinceAges 16–65 - NCT05699174RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two antibiotic routes for infected broken bones after surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving antibiotics by mouth (PO) works as well as giving antibiotics through a vein (IV) for an infected fracture that has not healed after prior surgery. It may help you understand which approach is safer and more effective for getting the bone to heal.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276334Enrolling by invitation
Same-day discharge vs. hospital stay for wrist fracture surgery
This trial compares going home the same day after wrist fracture surgery versus staying in the hospital. It aims to see if same-day discharge is safe and effective for recovery.
Ẕerifin, IsraelAges 18–120 - NCT07440251Recruiting
Double fixation for broken lower ulna bone
This trial tests if fixing a specific type of broken wrist bone (the ulna) with both a flexible rod and a small plate helps it heal better. It may be an option if you have a displaced or unstable ulna fracture, with or without a radius fracture.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT07523386Recruiting
Cannulated Screws vs. K-wires for Wrist Fracture Surgery
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing broken wrist bones in adults. Researchers want to see which approach—using special screws or wires—works better for healing and function.
Sohag, Naser CityAges 18–60 - NCT07219979Enrolling by invitation
Remote monitoring for wrist fracture recovery
This trial tests if checking your recovery with a smartphone or computer at home works as well as in-person visits after wrist fracture surgery. You would use a device to share updates with your care team instead of traveling to the clinic.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07765095Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after hip socket surgery
This study tests a numbing injection around the hip socket to see if it reduces pain after surgery to fix a broken hip socket. It may help you feel better and need less pain medicine after your operation.
San JuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07738406Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07561541RecruitingPhase 4
Extended Antibiotics for Diabetic Leg Fracture Surgery
This study tests whether taking antibiotics for a longer time helps prevent infections in people with poorly controlled diabetes who need surgery for a lower leg or foot fracture. Since diabetes makes infections more likely after surgery, extra antibiotics might reduce that risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07773402Recruiting
Comparing two surgical methods for complex tibial plateau fractures
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing complex tibial plateau fractures (breaks in the upper shin bone near the knee) to see which one leads to better knee function. You may be able to join if you have this type of fracture and are between 18 and 65 years old.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–50 - NCT03097081Recruiting
Back brace versus no brace after back fracture surgery
This trial compares wearing a back brace (“orthosis”) versus not wearing one after surgery for a traumatic back fracture. It looks at whether the brace improves recovery and reduces problems after the operation.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–65 - NCT04869332Recruiting
Three vs four screws to fix a broken hip bone
This trial compares using three versus four screws to hold a femoral neck fracture (a break in the hip bone near the joint). It aims to see which method works better for healing and recovery after internal fixation surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05070169Recruiting
Early surgery for hip fractures in people on blood thinners
This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06542471Enrolling by invitation
Plates vs rods for pediatric forearm fractures
This trial compares two surgical approaches for kids with broken both forearm bones: using metal plates or a flexible rod inside the bone. It aims to see which method leads to better healing, so you can get back to playing sooner.
CairoAges 9 years+ - NCT07759440Recruiting
Two ways to fix a broken eye socket
This study compares two methods surgeons use to fix a broken bone around the eye (orbital fracture). The goal is to see which approach gives patients a better recovery with fewer side effects.
Alexandria, Outside US and CanadaAges 20–50 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fracture fixation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 83 recruiting fracture fixation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a fracture fixation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a fracture fixation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
