Recruiting studies
- NCT05765929Recruiting
X-ray tests for deciding how to treat certain ankle fractures
This study uses special standing (weightbearing) ankle X-rays to see whether your ankle fracture is stable, to help guide treatment decisions. It may help doctors choose safer, more appropriate care for specific ankle fracture types.
Sarpsborg, Østfold fylkeAges 18–75 - NCT07853768Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging for wrist and ankle injuries
This study tests a new ultrasound device that helps doctors see broken bones in the wrist, forearm, ankle, or lower leg, using sound waves instead of X-rays. If you are getting an X-ray for one of these injuries, your images may be checked with this new device to see if it works as well.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT04847115Recruiting
Testing treatment for Zone 3 fifth foot bone fractures
This study is looking at how Zone 3 fractures of the small toe-side foot bone heal. It may help guide the best treatment plan for fractures like yours, especially for getting healing back on track.
GrålumAges 18–65 - NCT07847164Recruiting
Hip fracture recovery study in older adults
This study follows older adults in China who have had a hip fracture to understand their recovery and what factors affect it. It aims to improve care and outcomes for people with hip fractures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT07759440Recruiting
Two ways to fix a broken eye socket
This study compares two methods surgeons use to fix a broken bone around the eye (orbital fracture). The goal is to see which approach gives patients a better recovery with fewer side effects.
Alexandria, Outside US and CanadaAges 20–50 - NCT07733271Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for broken shin bone near ankle
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05721378Recruiting
Testing safer walking weight on a surgically treated heel fracture
This trial studies whether “permissive weight bearing” (walking with allowed weight) is safe and helpful after surgery for a displaced heel bone fracture. It’s meant to improve recovery while protecting the healing bone.
AmsterdamAges 18–67 - NCT07674043Recruiting
Pressure monitoring for teen shinbone fractures
This study tests a device that monitors muscle pressure after surgery for a broken shinbone (tibia). The goal is to help doctors detect a dangerous condition called compartment syndrome early, so they can treat it quickly.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 10–21 - NCT03966716Recruiting
Hip screws or hip replacement for small hip fractures
This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 75 years+ - NCT07561541RecruitingPhase 4
Extended Antibiotics for Diabetic Leg Fracture Surgery
This study tests whether taking antibiotics for a longer time helps prevent infections in people with poorly controlled diabetes who need surgery for a lower leg or foot fracture. Since diabetes makes infections more likely after surgery, extra antibiotics might reduce that risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07539922Recruiting
Double Screw Surgery for Ankle Fractures That Haven't Healed
This trial tests a surgical technique using two screws to fix ankle fractures (specifically on the outer ankle bone) that haven't healed properly after six months or more. The goal is to help the bone heal and reduce pain and disability.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT06141187Recruiting
Vertebroplasty vs. sham for spine fractures due to osteoporosis
This trial tests if a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into a fractured spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure. It is for people with painful spine fractures caused by osteoporosis (weak bones) that started within the last three months.
Middelfart, FynAges 50 years+ - NCT05410587Recruiting
Monitoring plate to improve healing after a femur fracture
This trial tests a special “monitoring” implant added to a surgical plate to track how a broken thigh bone (femur) is healing. It may help surgeons understand healing sooner so you can get the right weight-bearing and follow-up care.
HomburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07440251Recruiting
Double fixation for broken lower ulna bone
This trial tests if fixing a specific type of broken wrist bone (the ulna) with both a flexible rod and a small plate helps it heal better. It may be an option if you have a displaced or unstable ulna fracture, with or without a radius fracture.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06670404Recruiting
Combination treatment for painful spinal fractures
This study tests a combination treatment for painful spinal fractures caused by thinning bones (osteoporosis) or tumors. It may help people with one or more recently broken vertebrae in the mid or lower back.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT07374341Recruiting
Botox for jaw fractures near the joint
This trial is testing whether guided Botox (botulinum toxin) injections into the chewing muscles can help treat certain types of jaw fractures near the joint. It may be an option if you have a mild to moderate break on one side and your bite is stable.
AlexandriaAges 18–40 - NCT05883241RecruitingPhase 1
Sound-based treatment for fracture pain
This early-stage study tests a device that uses sound to reduce pain from a bone fracture and improve daily quality of life. If you have mild-to-moderate fracture pain and can follow the device routine, you may be able to try this treatment while avoiding other pain medicines and fracture-area therapies.
Trumbull, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - NCT07350785Recruiting
Predicting outcomes after hip fracture using MDW
This trial checks if a blood test called MDW (monocyte distribution width) can help predict complications and recovery in older adults after a hip fracture.
Kifissia, AtticaAges 65 years+ - NCT07314450Recruiting
Pain and sedation for fracture and dislocation treatment in the ER
This study tests how well pain and sedation medicines work in the emergency department when treating adults with certain broken bones or dislocated joints that need to be set or casted. It aims to see which approach is safest and most comfortable for patients.
Holbæk, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT07299851Recruiting
Fatty acid supplement for bone healing after a leg fracture
This trial tests whether a supplement made from cetylated fatty acids can help heal a simple leg bone fracture faster after surgery. You might be eligible if you have a specific type of leg fracture fixed with a metal rod inside the bone.
Deurne, AntwerpAges 18–85 - NCT07234396Recruiting
Animated video for kids having elbow pins removed
This trial tests whether watching a short animated video before getting metal pins removed from a broken elbow can help reduce pain and anxiety in children. It compares the video to the usual care, which is just talking to the child.
Karachi, SindhAges 4–12 - NCT07219979Enrolling by invitation
Remote monitoring for wrist fracture recovery
This trial tests if checking your recovery with a smartphone or computer at home works as well as in-person visits after wrist fracture surgery. You would use a device to share updates with your care team instead of traveling to the clinic.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07178041Recruiting
Remote conditioning after hip fracture surgery
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment using a blood pressure cuff on the arm can help reduce complications after hip fracture surgery. It might help improve recovery by preparing the body to handle the stress of surgery.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07153302Recruiting
Can almonds help heal broken leg bones?
This study tests if eating almonds can help femur (thigh) or tibia (shin) fractures heal faster. If you have a fresh leg break and are 18 to 55, you may be able to join.
KarachiAges 18–55

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.
