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 - 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 - NCT02664337Enrolling by invitation
Study of what people prefer in joint and fracture treatments
This study asks patients (or parents/caregivers, for children’s injuries) about their preferences for different treatment options for certain joint and fracture problems. It may help clinicians choose care plans that match what patients value.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT07521696Recruiting

Odense, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07876882Recruiting
Comparing two bone scans for osteoporosis diagnosis
This study compares a newer, no-radiation bone scan (REMS) with the standard DXA scan to see if it's just as good at diagnosing osteoporosis and predicting fractures. If you're already getting a DXA scan, you might be able to participate and help improve bone health testing.
Easton, MarylandAges 30–90 - NCT04106674Recruiting
Treating displaced shoulder fractures: non-surgery vs surgery options
This trial compares non-surgical care with two different surgical fixation methods for a displaced two-part shoulder (upper arm) fracture. It aims to see which approach leads to the best recovery and function.
Lørenskog, OsloAges 60–85 - NCT05683314Recruiting
Surgery comparison for unstable pelvic and hip socket fractures
This study looks at how to best surgically fix unstable pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures, comparing different operative approaches. You might benefit if your goal is stable healing with a less invasive internal fixation method, but the study requires specific fracture types and long follow-up time.
Taichung, North DistrictAges Any age - NCT04776473Recruiting
Testing surgery timing for specific jaw joint fractures
This trial looks at how to treat a particular type of jaw joint (mandibular condyle) fracture using surgery, ideally within two weeks after the injury. If you have this fracture pattern, the study may help find the safest, most effective approach and recovery plan.
AngersAges 18–84 - NCT05231343Recruiting
Dual small-plate vs single plate for broken collarbones
This trial compares two surgical plate methods to fix a broken collarbone in the middle part (midshaft). The goal is to see which method works better for healing and function after an acute, fully displaced fracture.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06019585Recruiting
Comparing two bandages after wrist fracture surgery
This study compares two ways to support the wrist after surgery for a broken distal radius. One uses a compression bandage, the other uses a splint. The goal is to see which helps you heal and return to daily activities faster.
CórdobaAges 18–75 - NCT07861763Recruiting
How long should wrist traction last for broken wrist treatment?
This study compares two different lengths of time for applying gentle pulling (traction) to help reposition a broken wrist bone before putting it in a cast. The goal is to see if a shorter traction time works just as well as a longer one, which could make the treatment faster and more comfortable for patients.
Lucerne, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT07862907Recruiting
Comparing knee muscle recovery after two types of tibia nail surgery
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing a broken shin bone (tibia) to see if one leads to better knee muscle function. If you have a recent tibia fracture and are having surgery, this trial may help understand which approach might improve your recovery.
Istanbul, ŞişliAges 18–65 - NCT05904353Recruiting
Care coordination program after hip fracture and osteoporosis
This trial aims to improve how primary care and hospital care work together to treat osteoporosis after a hip fracture. It may help by making follow-up treatment plans and communication clearer after your hip injury.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 75 years+ - NCT07860970Enrolling by invitation
Surgical approaches compared for elbow joint fractures
This study compares two surgical techniques to fix a specific type of elbow fracture. The goal is to see which technique helps patients recover better after surgery.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 15–75 - NCT07860996Recruiting
Comparing two types of anesthesia for hip fracture surgery
This study compares two ways of giving general anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: one through an IV line and one through breathing in a gas. It aims to see which method helps patients recover better after surgery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT05146986Recruiting
RibFix versus usual non-surgical care for broken ribs
This trial compares a rib-fix surgery system (RibFix Blu) to non-surgical treatment for certain broken ribs. It looks at which approach helps people heal better and recover with less ongoing trouble after the injury.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04574336Recruiting
Tested treatment timing for specific upper-arm bone fractures
This study looks at treating certain types of upper-arm (humerus) shaft fractures started within 14 days of injury. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery in the right kinds of fractures.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT05775965RecruitingPhase 2
