Toronto, OntarioAges 60 years+ - NCT06152198Recruiting
Hip surgery comparison for nondisplaced femoral neck fracture
This trial compares two types of surgery—plates and screws versus hip replacement—for a specific type of hip fracture that is not shifted out of place. The goal is to see which option helps people recover better.
UppsalaAges 75 years+ - NCT07539922Recruiting
Double Screw Surgery for Ankle Fractures That Haven't Healed
This trial tests a surgical technique using two screws to fix ankle fractures (specifically on the outer ankle bone) that haven't healed properly after six months or more. The goal is to help the bone heal and reduce pain and disability.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07738380Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06113211RecruitingPhase 4
Non-opioid pain control after fracture surgery
This trial tests a combination of non-opioid medications to manage pain after surgery for a broken bone, aiming to reduce or avoid the use of opioids. It may help you control pain without the risks of strong painkillers.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT07266038Recruiting
Comparing two wire methods for children's elbow fracture
This trial is testing two ways of using small wires (K-wires) to hold a child's broken elbow bone in place after it's been set. The goal is to see which method keeps the bone correctly aligned as it heals.
Bahawalpur, Punjab ProvinceAges 2–13 - NCT04715139Recruiting
Testing safety of specific foot and ankle implants
This study follows people who get certain Arthrex foot and ankle implants to check how safely they heal and work over time. It may help your care team by adding long-term information about these devices.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT07342959Recruiting
Anchor surgery for elbow fracture in children
This trial studies a surgery using anchors to fix a broken bone in the elbow (the medial epicondyle) in children under 15. It aims to see how well this technique works for displaced fractures.
StrasbourgAges 1–14 - NCT06500325Recruiting
Elastic Nails for Upper Shin Fractures in Children
This trial tests a surgical technique using special elastic nails inserted from the bottom to fix fractures near the top of the shin bone in children. It may help children heal faster with fewer complications.
SohagAges 4–12 - NCT06372067Recruiting
Screw vs. wire for finger fractures
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing certain finger fractures: a small screw inside the bone (IM screw) versus a thin wire (K-wire). Both are common techniques; this trial aims to see which provides better recovery and comfort.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 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+ - NCT05046600Recruiting
Hand and wrist implant registry for eligible adult patients
This registry collects information about people who need hand or wrist surgery using specific Arthrex implants. It helps the company and doctors learn how these implants are used and how patients do during healing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389749Recruiting
Continuous passive motion after certain hip or leg fractures
This trial studies whether a device that gently moves your leg helps recovery after surgery for specific hip or knee fractures. It may help with healing and getting you back to moving more comfortably sooner, compared with not using the device.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06449755Recruiting
Comparing nails and screws for a broken pinky knuckle
This study compares two types of surgery—using an elastic nail versus a screw—to fix a displaced pinky knuckle fracture. It aims to find which method helps heal better with fewer problems.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18–60 - NCT06644976Recruiting
Bleeding study for hip fracture patients on blood thinners
This trial looks at patients with a broken hip who take a type of blood thinner called a NOAC. It measures bleeding during surgery to fix the hip, without stopping or delaying the surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe to operate right away.
