Comparing nails and screws for a broken pinky knuckle
This study compares two types of surgery—using an elastic nail versus a screw—to fix a displaced pinky knuckle fracture. It aims to find which method helps heal better with fewer problems.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18–60 - NCT05351112Recruiting
Shoulder fracture replacement study for adults using a Zimmer Biomet system
This trial studies how safe and well a specific shoulder replacement system works after certain serious shoulder injuries or failed prior treatments. You may be considered if you need shoulder surgery for complex proximal humerus fractures or related post-injury problems, and you can return for follow-up visits.
SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT01747291Recruiting
Study of incomplete atypical bone fractures
This study follows people who have had a specific type of bone injury called an atypical fracture, or a similar fracture after little or no trauma. It aims to better understand who is affected and how these injuries behave over time.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 20–100 - NCT07134257Recruiting
Smart crutch tips for leg fracture recovery
This study tests a special crutch tip that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg after shinbone surgery. It may help you recover more safely by giving you feedback on your weight-bearing.
Kyiv, Kyiv OblastAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06518265Recruiting
Locked nail surgery for high-risk ankle fractures
This study looks at how well a special locking nail works for ankle fractures in patients with skin problems or injuries that make standard surgery risky. It aims to find out who benefits most from this less invasive method.
La TroncheAges 18–100 - NCT06975254Recruiting
Smartphone nursing support for hip fracture recovery
This study tests a special nursing program that uses a smartphone app to support people recovering from a hip fracture caused by fragile bones. It aims to improve recovery and prevent future fractures.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06909916Recruiting
Weight-Bearing CT for Knee Fractures Above a Replacement
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how well the bone around a repaired knee fracture heals after a second surgery. If you’ve had surgery for a broken bone above your knee replacement, this scan might help doctors learn more about your recovery.
London, OntarioAges 50–90 - NCT07138066Recruiting
Smart crutch tips for guided weight-bearing after tibia fracture
This trial tests a smart crutch tip that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg while recovering from a broken shin bone. It is for people who have had surgery to fix the fracture and are learning to walk again with crutches.
Kyiv, Kyiv OblastAges 18–80 - NCT06500325Recruiting
Elastic Nails for Upper Shin Fractures in Children
This trial tests a surgical technique using special elastic nails inserted from the bottom to fix fractures near the top of the shin bone in children. It may help children heal faster with fewer complications.
SohagAges 4–12 - 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 - 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 - NCT03097081Recruiting
Back brace versus no brace after back fracture surgery
This trial compares wearing a back brace (“orthosis”) versus not wearing one after surgery for a traumatic back fracture. It looks at whether the brace improves recovery and reduces problems after the operation.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–65 - NCT03378557Recruiting
Hip or knee fracture after surgery registry study
This study enrolls adults who break a bone around a hip or knee replacement soon after surgery. It creates a registry (a real-world database) to better understand these fractures and improve care over time.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03796572RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain relief after a specific elbow bone fracture
This trial studies whether a pain-relief “nerve block” with medicine helps control pain after surgery for a particular type of elbow (humerus) fracture. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery, compared with standard pain control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4–12 - 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+ - NCT04187261Recruiting
Audit of surgical care for hip fractures
This trial is an audit, meaning researchers review existing hospital records to understand what happens after hip fractures are treated with surgery. It may help improve how hip fracture care is documented and delivered at their hospital.
Karachi, SindhAges 1–100 - NCT04796350Recruiting
Medicine after hip surgery to help prevent a second hip fracture
This trial tests AGN1 LOEP (a medicine/device placed at the hip surgery site) to help prevent another hip fracture after you’ve had a low-energy hip fracture. You must be eligible for hip repair surgery and be at higher risk for another fracture, with no key exclusions like active cancer or serious kidney disease.
InnsbruckAges 65–91 - 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 - NCT05131321Recruiting
Testing a frailty-focused plan for serious ankle fractures
This trial studies how best to manage serious ankle or tibia-pilon fractures in older adults who may be frail or have other major health problems. The goal is to improve care decisions and outcomes after injury, especially in people more likely to have complications.
London, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT05280639Recruiting
Simpler rehab plan after ankle or tibial plafond fracture
This trial tests whether a simpler “at-home” rehabilitation plan after ankle or lower-leg bone (tibial plafond) fractures works as well as standard care. It may help you recover strength and walking function with less clinic time.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT05668182Recruiting
TRUMATCH graft cage for broken thigh/leg/arm bone gaps
This study looks at how well a specific metal implant (the TRUMATCH graft cage) works when there is a missing segment of a long bone in the arm, thigh, or shin. It may help stabilize the bone while doctors rebuild the defect with standard surgical care.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
