Recruiting studies
- NCT03713853Recruiting
Compare hip surgery methods for new pelvic bone fractures
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.

Comparing two surgical methods for hip socket fractures
This study compares two ways to fix a specific type of hip socket fracture (posterior wall fracture) using a rim plate or a buttress plate, with or without extra screws. It aims to find the best approach for healing.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06249126Recruiting

3D-Printed Bite Splint for Broken Jaws in Children
This study tests a custom 3D-printed bite splint to help heal straightforward jaw fractures in children aged 6–12. Instead of surgery, the splint guides the broken pieces back together while your child heals naturally.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 6–12 - NCT07623304Recruiting
Exercise guidance system after spinal fusion surgery

Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT07608107Recruiting
Foot Pressure Monitoring for Pelvic Fracture Recovery
This study uses special shoe insoles that measure pressure and weight distribution to help doctors understand how people with pelvic fractures heal and recover their ability to walk. The goal is to improve care and outcomes for patients like you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 65 years+ - NCT07683715Recruiting
Virtual reality during cast application for kids
This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during cast application helps children with forearm fractures feel less pain and anxiety. It compares the VR experience to the standard cast process.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 4–15 - NCT05156749Recruiting
Short vs long casts for certain forearm fractures in kids
This study compares short-arm versus long-arm fiberglass casts to see which one works best for healing certain forearm bone injuries in children. It may help families choose a cast type that supports proper healing while aiming for comfort and safe recovery.
ZurichAges 4–16 - NCT07561164Recruiting
Getting Moving Again After Hip Fracture Surgery
This study tests a personalized movement program designed with patients to help you regain mobility and independence after hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see if this approach works well and helps you get back to your daily activities.
HvidovreAges 60 years+ - NCT07553221Recruiting
Treatment study for complex ankle fractures with cartilage damage
This research studies how to treat severe ankle fractures (called pilon fractures) that damage the joint surface. Researchers will use external fixation (a temporary metal frame outside the skin) to stabilize your ankle while they plan surgery to repair the cartilage damage.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07687290Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for hip fracture pain before spinal anesthesia
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for managing pain while positioning hip fracture patients before they receive spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to prepare for surgery.
CairoAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT07415889Recruiting
Psychological coaching after arm fracture surgery
This trial tests if structured psychological coaching helps people who are feeling emotionally vulnerable after surgery for a broken upper arm bone. It's for those who have a high tendency toward anxiety or stress (neuroticism) and had surgery within the last two weeks.

NAC injection during staged surgery for pilon fractures
This study looks at whether injecting N-acetylcysteine (NAC) into the joint during staged surgery can improve care for certain high-energy pilon fractures. It may help support healing where the joint is involved.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07276334Enrolling by invitation
Same-day discharge vs. hospital stay for wrist fracture surgery
This trial compares going home the same day after wrist fracture surgery versus staying in the hospital. It aims to see if same-day discharge is safe and effective for recovery.

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 - NCT06848660Recruiting
Neck brace study for stable fractures
This study tests if a neck brace (orthosis) works well for treating stable neck fractures without surgery. It may be an option if you have a recent, mild neck break and are healthy enough for non-surgical care.
