Larissa, ThessalyAges 65 years+ - NCT06617780Recruiting
Study on wrist fracture stability criteria
This trial is studying how to tell if a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) is stable enough to heal well. It will compare different ways of measuring the break on X-rays to find the best criteria for deciding if surgery is needed.
Oslo, OsloAges 18–65 - NCT06634290Recruiting
Studying cement in hip nail surgery for older adults
This study tests whether adding a cement-like material around the head of a metal rod used to fix a certain type of hip fracture helps patients heal better. It is for people 75 and older who have a common hip fracture from a minor fall.
Monforte de Lemos, LugoAges 75 years+ - 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.
Kfar SabaAges 18 years+ - NCT06713291Recruiting
A New Plate for Fresh Hip Fractures
This trial tests a new type of metal plate designed to fix a broken hip (femoral neck fracture) with sliding compression. The goal is to see if this plate helps the bone heal better and faster.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06731608Recruiting
Fracture prevention study for older adults in rehab
This study tests a system to help prevent another broken bone after a hip, leg, or pelvis fracture. It is for people 65+ who are in a skilled nursing facility for rehab and plan to return home or to assisted living.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT06769373Recruiting
Whirlpool and contrast bath for CRPS after wrist fracture
This study tests whether warm water whirlpool baths or alternating hot and cold water baths (contrast bath) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a wrist fracture that was treated without surgery.
Afyonkarahisar, AfyonkarahisarAges 18–70 - NCT06776003Recruiting
Mobility after vertebroplasty vs sham for spine fractures from osteoporosis
This trial compares a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into the broken bone) with a sham (fake) procedure to see how it affects your ability to move and be active. It's for people with recent painful spinal fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis).
KoldingAges 50 years+ - NCT06784089Recruiting
Hip fracture type, nutrition and pain after surgery
This study looks at how a person's nutrition before hip surgery relates to their pain levels after surgery. It aims to help doctors improve recovery for older adults.
AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT06793644Recruiting
ICG dye imaging for open fractures and infections
This trial tests if injecting a special dye (ICG) during surgery can help doctors see blood flow and infection in open fractures or infected bone areas. The dye glows under a special camera, which may guide better treatment decisions.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06818409Recruiting
Blood test to predict confusion after hip fracture surgery
This study looks at a simple blood test called CALLY (CRP-Albumin-Lymphocyte) to see if it can predict which older adults might become confused after hip fracture surgery. The goal is to identify those at risk early so doctors can take steps to prevent or manage delirium.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 65 years+ - NCT06853002Recruiting
Breathing exercises and spirometry after rib fracture
This trial tests whether deep breathing exercises and using an incentive spirometer can help people recover from rib fractures caused by chest injury. It aims to improve breathing and prevent lung problems.
