Agen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07268547Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Numbing methods for setting a broken wrist: nerve block vs hematoma block
This study compares two ways to numb your wrist before the doctor sets your broken bone: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine around nerves) or a hematoma block (injecting numbing medicine into the fracture area). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief during the procedure.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07239817Recruiting
Nerve block and local anesthetic for hip replacement surgery
This study tests whether a nerve block plus local anesthetic can improve pain control during and after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medications and improve recovery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07237191Recruiting
Geriatric distal femur fracture study
This study is testing how well two surgical implants work for fixing certain types of broken thigh bone (distal femur) in people aged 55 and older. The goal is to find the best way to help you heal and get back to your daily activities.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 55 years+ - NCT07227493Recruiting
Bioactive glass for open pilon fracture repair
This trial tests a special glass material to help heal severe ankle bone fractures. It may help people who need a bone graft after an open pilon fracture.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06678529Recruiting
Can brain stimulation prevent confusion after hip surgery?
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can reduce postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery. It aims to see if tDCS is a safe, drug-free way to protect brain function.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 65 years+ - NCT06913933Recruiting
Comparing two splints for wrist stiffness after a broken wrist
This study compares two types of splints (one that stays still and one that lets you move a little) to help people regain wrist motion after a broken wrist has healed. It may test whether a dynamic splint works better than a static one for persistent stiffness.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06913920Recruiting
Comparing therapies for hand swelling and pain after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether using mechanical devices (like compression or massage) reduces swelling and pain better than standard care after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you recover hand function more comfortably.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07215845Recruiting
Healing spinal bone stress with MRI monitoring
This study uses MRI scans to see how well a spinal stress injury (called a pars defect) heals over time. It might help if you are a young person with low back pain from a specific type of bone stress in the lower spine.
Columbia, MissouriAges 12–30 - NCT07209280Enrolling by invitation
New screw system for pelvic fracture repair
This trial tests a newer type of screw to fix certain pelvic fractures. It aims to see if it works better than the standard screw for helping bones heal and for you to get back on your feet.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–80 - NCT07208110Recruiting
Trauma deaths in the ICU
This study looks at patterns of death in trauma patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors understand how to improve care for seriously injured people.
Villavicencio, Meta DepartmentAges 15–100 - NCT07210281RecruitingPhase 4

Opole, Opole VoivodeshipAges 18–85 - NCT07189260Recruiting
Breathing exercises to prevent pneumonia after hip fracture
This trial tests whether simple breathing exercises before and after surgery can help prevent pneumonia in people with hip fractures. It is not a medication study—you'd use a small device to help you breathe deeply.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07174219Recruiting
Return to sports after MCL knee surgery
This study tracks people who had surgery to reattach the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in the knee, alone or with other repairs. It measures how well and how safely they return to sports. If you had this surgery, you may help improve future care.

South Bend, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07143552Recruiting
Bone health in kids with fractures from minor falls

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fracture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 501 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.
