Hip Graft vs. Plate Surgery for Upper Arm Bone Fractures
This study compares two surgical approaches for severe upper arm bone fractures near the shoulder in adults aged 40–70. Researchers want to see if adding a hip bone graft alongside a metal plate leads to better healing and shoulder function than using a plate alone.
HilversumAges 40–70 - NCT06423378Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Kneebar implant for knee pain and bone marrow lesion
This trial tests a new type of implant (a fiber-reinforced kneebar) for people with knee pain caused by a bone marrow lesion (BML) and osteoarthritis. The goal is to see if it helps relieve pain and improve knee function.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–75 - NCT05339360Recruiting
Study of an antibiotic-coated thighbone nail after femur fracture
This study looks at a specific type of thighbone (femur) nail that helps prevent infection, placed during fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you’re having surgery for a femur fracture or needing an osteotomy and your treatment plan includes this nail.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT06384456RecruitingPhase 4
TXA vs Placebo for Pain After Wrist Surgery
This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine used to reduce bleeding, can help lessen pain right after wrist fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you had breast cancer and radiation at least a year ago, are not currently on active cancer treatment, and don't take blood thinners or daily strong pain pills.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06913920Recruiting
Comparing therapies for hand swelling and pain after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether using mechanical devices (like compression or massage) reduces swelling and pain better than standard care after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you recover hand function more comfortably.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06937138Recruiting
AI vs surgeon planning for hip fracture screw placement
This trial compares an artificial-intelligence system to standard surgeon planning for placing screws in a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). It tests whether AI can improve the placement of screws that hold the bone together during healing.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT07538726Recruiting
Early weight-bearing after pelvic fracture surgery
This study tests whether patients can safely put weight on their leg earlier than usual after pelvic fracture surgery, and whether this helps them recover movement and function faster. Researchers will compare early partial weight-bearing to standard care.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–55 - NCT07209280Enrolling by invitation
New screw system for pelvic fracture repair
This trial tests a newer type of screw to fix certain pelvic fractures. It aims to see if it works better than the standard screw for helping bones heal and for you to get back on your feet.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–80 - NCT06138548Enrolling by invitation
Study of a reinforced knee implant for bone weakness
This trial tests a new, reinforced knee implant for people with a specific type of knee bone weakness. It's for those who already need a knee scope procedure for problems like a meniscal tear or loose cartilage.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426926Recruiting
Home light therapy for wrist fracture recovery
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT06249126Recruiting
Heel bone fusion for severe fractures
This trial tests whether fusing the joint just below the ankle (subtalar joint) during heel bone fracture repair helps people with severe fractures heal better. You may qualify if you have a specific type of broken heel bone and can return for follow-up visits for one year.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06709365Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for complex ankle breaks in older adults
This trial tests two ways to fix complicated ankle and lower leg fractures in people over 65. It compares using a nail through the heel versus plates and screws to see which helps you heal and move better.
SohagAges 1–2 - NCT06605482Recruiting
Early Fixation for Upper Arm Fractures in Older Adults
This trial tests if early surgery helps older patients heal from a broken upper arm bone (the humerus). It may lead to better recovery and less pain.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - NCT07374341Recruiting
Botox for jaw fractures near the joint
This trial is testing whether guided Botox (botulinum toxin) injections into the chewing muscles can help treat certain types of jaw fractures near the joint. It may be an option if you have a mild to moderate break on one side and your bite is stable.
AlexandriaAges 18–40 - NCT05131672Recruiting
Casting vs surgery for elbow bone fractures in children
This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 7–17 - NCT04670900Recruiting
Surgery options for displaced elbow fractures in older adults
This study looks at how to treat a displaced fracture at the tip of the elbow bone (olecranon) in older adults. The goal is to find the best way to heal the fracture while keeping elbow function as good as possible.
Sandvika, GjettumAges 75 years+ - NCT07733271Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for broken shin bone near ankle
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05680987Recruiting
Surgery method study for certain thighbone fractures
This study looks at a specific surgical fixation method (how the thighbone pieces are held together) for distal femur or femoral shaft fractures. It aims to compare outcomes and see if this approach works well, especially by tracking results after surgery.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04401462Recruiting
Study of treating elbow fractures in people 75 and older
This study focuses on displaced elbow (olecranon) fractures in older adults. It aims to compare how treatment timing and fracture type affect healing and recovery.
Turku, Southwest FinlandAges 75 years+ - NCT06639503RecruitingPhase 1
Nerve block for leg fracture surgery recovery
This trial tests if a nerve block given during surgery for a broken tibia (shin bone) can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07248982Recruiting
Comparing a strong stitch to traditional metal wire for kneecap fractures
This study compares two ways to repair a broken kneecap: a newer high-strength stitch versus the traditional metal wire method. It aims to find which option leads to better healing and recovery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–55 - NCT05574582Recruiting
Keyhole versus open surgery for an unhealed scaphoid bone
This study compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for scaphoid fractures that are not healing on their own. It aims to see which approach better helps the scaphoid heal after a delay or complete non-healing.
HellerupAges 18–68 - NCT03416959Recruiting
Register study for surgery patients with long-bone bone metastases
This trial collects and follows information about people who had surgery to treat cancer that spread to their long bones (like the femur or humerus) to prevent or fix a broken bone. It may help doctors better understand outcomes after these surgeries and improve future care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Any age - NCT06792305Recruiting
Surgery order for severe pelvic fractures
This study tests the best order of steps during surgery to fix a severe pelvic fracture (Tile C1.2 or C1.3). It may help determine if stabilizing the back or the front of the pelvis first leads to better outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fracture fixation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 78 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.
