Recruiting studies
- NCT06949826RecruitingPhase 4
Buprenorphine for pain after ankle fracture surgery
This trial tests if buprenorphine, a non-opioid pain medicine, works well for people who have not used opioids before. After ankle fracture surgery, you would get buprenorphine instead of stronger opioids to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.

Social work support after fracture surgery
This trial tests whether meeting with a social worker during your regular fracture clinic visits helps your recovery. If you had surgery for a broken arm or leg in the last 12 weeks, you may be able to join.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06981039Recruiting
Comparing plates vs wires for broken kneecap surgery
This study compares two ways to surgically fix a broken kneecap (patella): using a plate and screws versus using wires. It aims to find which method leads to better healing and recovery.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06990555Recruiting
Cast art for kids with broken bones
This study looks at using a special cast art program for children with broken arms or legs. It aims to see if decorating casts can make the experience better for kids and their families.
Portsmouth, VirginiaAges 5–18 - NCT07006675RecruitingPhase 3
NSAIDs for Tibia Fracture Pain and Healing Study
This study tests whether NSAID pain relievers (like ibuprofen) affect bone healing after a broken tibia and if they can help reduce the need for stronger painkillers. If you qualify, you could help doctors learn the safest way to manage pain after this common injury.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT07042139Recruiting
No reduction vs. closed reduction for wrist fractures in older adults
This trial compares two approaches for treating a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) in people 65 and older: no reduction (letting the bone heal without realigning it) versus closed reduction (realigning the bone without surgery). It aims to see if skipping reduction leads to similar outcomes and avoids unnecessary procedures.
ViborgAges 65 years+ - NCT07054463Recruiting
Fu's needling for healing wrist fractures
This study tests whether adding Fu's subcutaneous needling (a special needle technique) to standard care (splinting after a bone realignment) helps heal wrist fractures faster. It's for adults who recently broke their wrist and have already had the bone set without surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT07060430Recruiting
Comparing two wrist therapies after Colle's fracture
This study compares two types of gentle hand exercises to help people whose wrists have become stiff after a Colle's fracture. The goal is to see which approach works better for restoring wrist movement.
IslamabadAges 40–70 - NCT07069101Recruiting
Pain relief methods for broken ribs
This study compares two nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief and breathing function for people with multiple rib fractures on one side of the chest.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21–65 - NCT07073209Recruiting
Nerve blocks for hip fracture pain relief
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (one near the hip bone, one in the thigh) to see which provides better pain relief for people with a hip fracture. If you qualify, you would receive one of these blocks as part of your standard care.
Manhattan, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07103590Recruiting
Comparing two plates for fixing jaw angle fractures
This trial compares two types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw angle. It aims to see which method works better and helps patients heal faster.
AlexandriaAges 20–50 - NCT07163091Recruiting
Bracing for ankle fracture recovery
This study tests whether wearing a brace after an ankle fracture helps healing better than standard care. It is for adults who have been treated for an ankle fracture and can already put weight on their foot.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT07173088Recruiting
Ankle exercise program after fracture surgery
This study tests a new exercise program called the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) program to help people get back to full duty after an ankle fracture surgery. It aims to see if this program is effective and practical for recovery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–50 - NCT07208799RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid comparison for jaw fracture recovery
This trial compares two steroid medicines (dexamethasone and methylprednisolone) to see which one better reduces swelling, pain, and other symptoms after surgery for a broken lower jaw near the chin. It could help you recover faster and with less discomfort.
Multan, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–40 - 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 - NCT07280169Recruiting
Comparing two surgical implants for broken thigh bone
This study compares two different surgical implants (a special plate versus a plate with a rod) used to fix a broken bone just above the knee. The goal is to see which one works better for healing.

Ultrasound study of radial nerve in arm fracture with nerve injury
This study uses ultrasound and nerve tests to examine the radial nerve in people who have a broken upper arm bone (humeral shaft fracture) and also have radial nerve palsy (weakness or paralysis on the back of the hand/forearm). The goal is to better understand how the nerve is affected by the fracture.
Istanbul, KarsAges 18 years+ - NCT07288684Recruiting
Virtual chiropractor rehab after back fracture
This study tests a virtual, at-home rehab program led by a chiropractor for people over 50 who have had a recent back fracture. The goal is to help you recover strength and mobility through live video sessions, without needing to travel.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT07291505Recruiting

DenizliAges 18–65 - NCT07301242Recruiting
Study of ciprofol in older adults having limb surgery
This trial studies how the drug ciprofol works in older adults undergoing elective orthopedic limb surgery. The goal is to understand how the body processes the drug and how it affects patients, which may help improve its use for anesthesia in the elderly.
