3D-printed models to help repair a broken jaw
This study looks at using 3D-printed models made from your CT scan to help surgeons repair a broken lower jaw (mandible). It may help the surgical team plan more accurately and improve the repair process after a jaw fracture.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT05548972Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study of a hip replacement to improve implant wear
This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–80 - NCT05521958Enrolling by invitation
Gene activity study in severe leg muscle swelling after fracture
This study looks at gene activity (what genes are “turned on or off”) in the lower leg in people with acute compartment syndrome after a tibia (shin bone) injury. The goal is to better understand what is happening in the body and potentially guide future treatment decisions.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–90 - NCT04640727Enrolling by invitation
Surgery comparison for rotated elbow fractures in children
This trial compares two surgical methods for children with a specific type of rotated, fully shifted outer elbow fracture. It aims to find which approach works better for healing and restoring elbow function.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1–18 - NCT03178799Enrolling by invitation
Fracture care program to prevent future bone fractures
This trial tests a structured “fracture liaison service” program to help people after a new hip or spine (vertebral) fracture avoid additional fractures. It aims to improve long-term follow-up care over the next 10 years.
TaipeiAges 50–100 - NCT06251206RecruitingPhase 1
Early education after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether teaching patients about daily activities soon after wrist fracture surgery helps them recover better. It is for adults who had surgery for a broken wrist and are within 2 weeks of their operation.
Washington, VirginiaAges 18–110 - NCT07751068Recruiting
Ankle fracture treatment in children
This trial compares non-surgical treatments for children with a first-time ankle fracture. It aims to find which treatment works best for healing and recovery.
Frisco, TexasAges 5–12 - NCT06981065Recruiting
Scandinavian study for displaced collar bone fractures
This trial tests different treatments for a specific type of broken collar bone (the outer end, near the shoulder) where the bone pieces are out of place. If you have this type of fracture, the study aims to find the best way to help it heal.
OdenseAges 18–65 - 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.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT06524843Recruiting
Evaluating fracture risk from cancer spread to bone
This study looks at people with cancer that has spread to the bones. It uses your medical imaging and records to understand your risk of bone fracture, without testing any new treatment.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT04715139Recruiting
Testing safety of specific foot and ankle implants
This study follows people who get certain Arthrex foot and ankle implants to check how safely they heal and work over time. It may help your care team by adding long-term information about these devices.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT04678154RecruitingPhase 3

Early TXA treatment for adult hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a blood-clot-reducing medicine (TXA) early after an adult hip fracture helps reduce bleeding and related problems around surgery. It may help some patients getting operative fixation by improving safety during recovery.
Grand Blanc, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04704947RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fracture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 506 recruiting fracture 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 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 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.
