Agen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05170815Recruiting
Spine Device Registry for Adults Getting Commercial Devices
This study is a registry that collects information about adults who use specific, commercially available spine devices. It may help doctors understand how these devices are used in real-world care and what outcomes look like over time.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05227924Recruiting
Testing safety and performance of a hip implant device type
This study checks how safe and well a specific brand of hip implant (SYMBOL range) works in people getting a total hip replacement. It may help by confirming the device performs as expected for primary or revision surgeries.
BeaumontAges 18 years+ - NCT05246813Recruiting
Study blood cell changes in older adults
This study looks at how blood-forming stem cells change in people with clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP), a common age-related blood condition. It may help researchers understand what these changes mean and who might be at higher risk for future blood problems.
Bonheiden, BelgiëAges 55 years+ - NCT05276674Recruiting
Study of an antibiotic-coated nail for femur fracture repair
This trial studies whether a special antibiotic-coated nail (ZNN Bactiguard System) can help heal femur (thigh bone) fractures after surgery. It’s mainly for people who need a certain type of nail placed from the knee end and can attend follow-up visits.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT05292001RecruitingPhase 4
Single IV iron dose for anemia after leg or pelvic fractures
This trial tests whether giving a one-time IV iron treatment can improve anemia (low blood count) after surgery for a leg or pelvic fracture. It may help your body make red blood cells faster after blood loss from the injury and operation.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT05339360Recruiting
Study of an antibiotic-coated thighbone nail after femur fracture
This study looks at a specific type of thighbone (femur) nail that helps prevent infection, placed during fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you’re having surgery for a femur fracture or needing an osteotomy and your treatment plan includes this nail.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT05347875Recruiting
App training to improve walking aid skills
This trial tests an app-based program meant to help people who already use walking aids learn and practice safer walking aid skills. It may help you move more comfortably if you can use the app and communicate with the study team.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–99 - NCT05361980Recruiting
Study of safety and results of a pediatric bone implant
This study looks at whether a specific pediatric bone implant is safe and works well for children who need it. By joining, you help researchers track outcomes over time and understand possible implant-related side effects.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges birth–25 years - NCT05381818Recruiting
Breathing muscle training before joint surgery
This trial tests whether strengthening breathing muscles before total joint surgery can lower the chance of lung complications after the operation. It may help people who already have breathing problems or a history of smoking.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05488080Recruiting
Improving emergency care for children with appendicitis or fractures
This project looks at how emergency department care is delivered for children with possible appendicitis or a long bone fracture, with a focus on reducing inequities. You may be eligible if your child comes to the emergency department for symptoms that could fit these conditions, and they are not in the most immediately life-threatening category.

Follow-up study for Exactech shoulder implants after surgery
This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
Laguna Woods, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT05624164Recruiting
Microfracture surgery to help rotator cuff tears heal

Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT05638360RecruitingPhase 2
Test medicine for healing after wrist bone fracture surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang-Saan (a traditional Chinese medicine) helps the wrist heal better after surgery for a Colles’ fracture. If you qualify, you may receive the medicine and be asked to complete questionnaires to track healing and outcomes.
Changhua, ChanghuaAges 20–80 - NCT05650996RecruitingPhase 1

Olecranon fracture surgery with or without K-wires
This trial studies whether using small metal K-wires during surgery for certain elbow (olecranon) fractures improves outcomes compared with not using them. You may be eligible if your injury matches the trial’s fracture type and surgery timing, and you can attend follow-up visits and answer questionnaires.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05729542Recruiting
Suture button vs Fibulink for acute ankle ligament injury
This study compares two different surgical devices used to fix a torn ankle ligament (called the syndesmosis) after an ankle fracture. If you may need surgery for this specific injury, the results could help show which device leads to better recovery.

- 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.
