Kinesio tape for new shoulder or chest injuries
This trial looks at whether kinesio tape (elastic therapeutic tape) helps pain and movement after a fresh shoulder or chest wall injury. It’s designed for certain types of rib, collarbone, or shoulder joint injuries when the injury happened very recently.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06773884Enrolling by invitation
Hip fracture surgery study using nationwide data
This study looks at the records of adults who had hip fracture surgery. It might help explain how different treatments affect recovery and health results.
ÖrebroAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06600854Recruiting
BoneTape trial for cheekbone and upper jaw fractures
This study tests a new bone tape (BoneTape) for fixing certain types of facial fractures. If you have an unstable break in your cheekbone or upper jaw that needs surgery, this trial may be a good fit.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06525610Recruiting
CT scan study for knee fracture repair after replacement
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how your new knee replacement and the bone around it heal after surgery to fix a broken bone just above the knee. It may help doctors understand how well the repair holds up when you put weight on it.
London, OntarioAges 50–90 - NCT06496035Recruiting
Blood flow training for leg fracture recovery
This study tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training helps people heal faster after a broken shinbone (tibia). It might improve strength and recovery during physical therapy.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT06367582Recruiting
Study of Teknimed spine cements outcomes
This study is checking how well certain spine cements (used to stabilize broken vertebrae) work in real life. If you are 18 or older and have had or will have a TEKNIMED cement procedure, you may be able to join.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT03378557Recruiting

Køge, Region SjællandAges 50–65 - NCT06050668RecruitingPhase 2
Amino acid supplement study for broken hip in older adults
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT05805774Recruiting
Compare fixing versus replacing a fractured thigh bone
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT05769114Recruiting

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+ - NCT05587244Enrolling by invitation
Hip liner study for people getting a hip replacement
This study looks at a specific type of hip replacement liner (the part inside the hip joint) and how well it works after surgery. You might be eligible if you’re planning a one-sided hip replacement and don’t have certain infection, bone, or health problems that could affect healing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT05415384Recruiting

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.
