Recruiting studies
- NCT05131685Recruiting
Child wrist fracture study comparing treatment for certain breaks
This study looks at treatment for children’s wrist (distal radius) fractures that are very displaced but not involving the growth plate. It may help doctors find the best way to reset and stabilize the bone when the fracture is recent.

Digital rehab for hip fracture recovery in older adults
This trial tests whether a digital rehabilitation program can help older adults recover their thinking and movement skills after hip fracture surgery. It uses sensors and digital tools to guide therapy, making it easier to do from a rehabilitation ward.
Messina, ItalyAges 65–89 - NCT02635022Recruiting
Care plan plus bone-medicine monitoring after a fracture

HsinchuAges 50 years+ - NCT02150850Recruiting
Registry for atypical femur fractures in adults 45+
This registry follows people in Quebec who have had an atypical femur fracture (a specific type of thigh-bone fracture). It aims to better understand these injuries and support future care by collecting health information over time.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45 years+ - NCT02346929Recruiting
Hematoma Block for Broken Wrist Pain Relief
This trial studies an injection called a “hematoma block” to numb pain from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It may help reduce pain while you’re in the emergency department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - 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 - NCT07428291Recruiting
Early rehab after knee fracture surgery
This trial tests a specific exercise program started soon after surgery for a type of knee fracture called a tibial spine avulsion. It is meant for young, active people who had a recent fall or sports injury and may help them recover movement and strength faster.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 15–25 - NCT07432737Recruiting
One vs. two doses of bleeding medicine in hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving one dose of a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) works as well as two doses during hip fracture surgery. It may help people who need surgery for a broken hip near the thigh bone.
SkopjeAges 65 years+ - NCT07437339RecruitingPhase 4
Irrigation volume for open fracture cleaning
This trial tests if using less fluid to clean open fractures (broken bones that poke through the skin) works just as well as using more fluid. It compares two different amounts of salt water (saline) to see which one helps prevent infections and helps bones heal better.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07442721Recruiting
Comparing two types of nerve blocks for hip replacement pain
This study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
El Fayoum Qesm, Faiyum GovernorateAges 50–90 - NCT07463352Recruiting
Pre-surgery nutrition for frail seniors with hip fractures
This study tests if giving a special protein drink before surgery helps frail older adults with a broken hip recover better. It might reduce complications after surgery.
DüzceAges 65 years+ - NCT07485829Recruiting
Rib fracture repair with RibFix Titan system
This trial tests a titanium rib fixation system to see how well it stabilizes broken ribs or rib cuts (osteotomies) during healing. It may be an option if you need surgery to fix rib fractures.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07430345RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Buprenorphine for pain in older adults with broken bones
This trial tests a low-dose pain medicine called buprenorphine for people 65 and older who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to find a safe way to manage pain in older adults.
Camden, New JerseyAges 65 years+ - NCT07516834Recruiting
Spine Surgery Recovery: Open vs. Minimally Invasive Approaches
This study compares how people recover their normal walking patterns after surgery for mid-to-lower spine fractures. Researchers will measure your gait (how you walk) and muscle activity to see if the type of surgery affects how quickly you heal.
Ústí nad Labem, Ústí nad Labem RegionAges 20–75 - NCT07523386Recruiting
Cannulated Screws vs. K-wires for Wrist Fracture Surgery
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing broken wrist bones in adults. Researchers want to see which approach—using special screws or wires—works better for healing and function.
Sohag, Naser CityAges 18–60 - NCT07538700Recruiting
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 - NCT07556263Recruiting
Hip Fracture Recovery: Mobility and Daily Life Outcomes
This study looks at how well people recover their ability to move and do everyday activities after a hip fracture treated at OLVG hospital. Researchers will review your medical records and recovery progress to understand what helps people regain independence.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07579520Recruiting
Music-Based Movement Training After Leg Fracture Recovery
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music (a technique called rhythmic auditory stimulation) helps young people regain movement and flexibility in their legs after a fracture heals. The goal is to see if music-guided exercises work better than standard rehabilitation.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–18 - NCT07612761Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Hip Fracture Surgery
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after hip fracture surgery. Both methods numb the area around your hip to reduce pain and may help you recover better.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07636902Recruiting
Ultrasound to detect skull fractures in young children with head injuries
This study tests whether ultrasound (sound-wave imaging) can quickly and safely detect skull fractures in children 6 years old or younger who have bumped their head. The goal is to find a faster, non-radiation way to check for fractures in the emergency room.
Genova, ItalyAges Up to 6 years - NCT07578753Enrolling by invitation
Robot-assisted walking therapy for burn and fracture recovery
This study tests whether a robotic device that helps you walk can improve movement and function after you've had a severe burn and broken bone in your leg. The robot guides your leg through walking motions while you're healing, and researchers want to see if it helps you regain strength and independence faster.
SeoulAges 18–70 - NCT07561489Enrolling by invitation
Study of OsteoPearl Implants for Spine Fractures
This study observes how a biological implant called OsteoPearl helps people recover from recent spine fractures in the mid or lower back. Researchers will track your pain relief and ability to function over time after a minimally invasive procedure to stabilize the fracture.
Williamsville, New YorkAges 50 years+ - NCT07323147Enrolling by invitation
Robot-assisted walking therapy for hip fracture recovery
This study tests whether a robot suit can help older adults walk better after hip fracture surgery. If you are 65 or older and had surgery for a broken hip from a minor fall, you may be able to join.
