- NCT06278987RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two pain relief methods for hip fracture surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip fracture surgery: a new type of injection near the hip joint (cryoablation of the PENG nerve group) versus a standard numbing catheter placed in the groin area (fascia iliaca catheter). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.

FrederiksbergAges 65 years+ - NCT06293469Recruiting
Speeding up flap surgery for severe leg injuries
This trial tests whether performing flap surgery sooner after a severe leg injury below the knee leads to better outcomes. If you have an open fracture or dislocation that needs a flap, you may be able to join.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07202208Recruiting
Preventing confusion after hip fracture surgery
This trial tests a special care plan (the 'Delirium Zero Protocol') to help prevent confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery. It is for people over 65 who are having hip fracture surgery and have a family member or caregiver who can be involved.
Manises, ValenciaAges 65 years+ - NCT06337292RecruitingPhase 3
Wound vacuum therapy for high-risk leg fractures
This trial tests if a special wound vacuum (negative pressure therapy) applied after surgery can lower the risk of infections and other complications in people with severe leg fractures. If you have a high-risk tibia or ankle fracture, this treatment may help you heal better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06347874RecruitingPhase 4
Cryo for broken ribs study
This study tests a cold therapy treatment (cryo) for people who have broken two or more ribs. It may help manage pain and improve recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06365710Recruiting
Physiotherapy vs telerehab after wrist fracture surgery
This study compares in-person physiotherapy with remote telerehabilitation after a specific type of wrist fracture surgery. It aims to see if doing rehab at home works as well as going to a clinic.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT06379555Recruiting
Arthroscopic wrist fracture repair under local anesthesia
This study tests a less invasive way to fix wrist fractures using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and numbing medication instead of general anesthesia. It may mean a faster recovery and less time in the hospital.
VersaillesAges 18–70 - NCT06449742Recruiting
AI to find spine fractures on CT scans
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence program can find broken bones in the spine (vertebral fractures) by looking at CT scans of the chest or abdomen. The goal is to see if AI can help doctors spot these fractures more easily, which could lead to earlier treatment.
Milan, ItalyAges 50 years+ - NCT06451510Recruiting
Knee osteoarthritis study in Northern Sweden
This trial studies knee osteoarthritis in people from Norrbotten, Sweden, who broke their tibial plateau between 2001 and 2015. It aims to understand how the injury affects the knee over time.
Luleå, Norrbotten CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06451679Recruiting
Hip fracture patients' diet after surgery
This study looks at what hip fracture patients eat after surgery. It aims to understand dietary patterns to help improve recovery.
MiddlesbroughAges 60 years+ - NCT06452147Recruiting
Anesthesia and brain health after hip surgery in older adults
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - NCT06453447Recruiting
Prednisone to prevent CRPS after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether a short course of the steroid prednisone can prevent or reduce complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after wrist surgery. It is for people who had a broken wrist fixed with a plate and screws and have a higher chance of developing CRPS.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06455813RecruitingPhase 4
Best laxative after hip fracture surgery
This trial is comparing different laxatives to help prevent constipation after hip fracture surgery. It is for older adults (65+) who recently had hip surgery and are not already using laxatives.
KoldingAges 65–110 - NCT06458309Recruiting
Managing spine fractures in adults
This study tests a way to manage fractures in the mid-to-lower back (thoracic and lumbar spine) for adults. It looks at how well the current treatment works for these types of spine injuries.
SohagAges 16–70 - NCT06462040Recruiting
Dissolving Screws for Loose Knee Cartilage
This study follows patients who have a loose piece of bone and cartilage in their knee and are having it fixed with special screws that dissolve over time. The goal is to see how well the knee heals and works after surgery.
Bologna, BolognaAges 12–35 - NCT06503718Recruiting
Leg fracture treatment in children and teens
This study looks back at how children and teens with a displaced break in the middle part of the shinbone were treated at Strasbourg University Hospital. It aims to compare different treatments (like a cast or surgery) to learn which work best.

Blood test to screen bone health and fracture risk
This study uses a simple blood test to look for early signs of bone loss and fracture risk. It's for people 40 and older who are either healthy, have early bone thinning, or have known osteoporosis.
BolognaAges 40 years+ - NCT06565910RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief after hip surgery: long-acting vs standard numbing medicine
This study tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposome) combined with a standard numbing medicine works better for pain control after hip fracture surgery. It compares two different combinations to see which provides more effective pain relief.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT06568276Recruiting
Repairing the deltoid ligament in unstable ankle fractures
This study tests whether repairing the deltoid ligament on the inner side of the ankle helps people heal better after an unstable ankle fracture. If you have a certain type of break (Weber B) that shows widening on x-ray, you may be able to join.
