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+ - NCT07538700Recruiting
Hip Graft vs. Plate Surgery for Upper Arm Bone Fractures
This study compares two surgical approaches for severe upper arm bone fractures near the shoulder in adults aged 40–70. Researchers want to see if adding a hip bone graft alongside a metal plate leads to better healing and shoulder function than using a plate alone.
HilversumAges 40–70 - NCT06098157Recruiting
Non-healed broken bones in arm or leg after surgery
This is a registry study that collects information from people who have had surgery for a broken arm or leg bone that did not heal on its own. It helps doctors better understand why some bones don't heal and how to improve treatment.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05151926Recruiting
Rehab trial after tibia bone fracture surgery
This trial studies rehabilitation after a tibia (shinbone) shaft fracture that is fixed with a metal nail. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and to take part in a rehab plan that aims to improve recovery after injury.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18–65 - NCT07520851Recruiting
Does Buzzy help reduce pain during elbow pin removal?
This study tests whether a vibrating device called Buzzy can help reduce pain and fear when children have pins removed from their elbow after a fracture. Buzzy uses gentle vibration and cold to distract from discomfort during the procedure.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 3–10 - NCT07516834Recruiting
Spine Surgery Recovery: Open vs. Minimally Invasive Approaches
This study compares how people recover their normal walking patterns after surgery for mid-to-lower spine fractures. Researchers will measure your gait (how you walk) and muscle activity to see if the type of surgery affects how quickly you heal.
Ústí nad Labem, Ústí nad Labem RegionAges 20–75 - NCT07523386Recruiting
Cannulated Screws vs. K-wires for Wrist Fracture Surgery
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing broken wrist bones in adults. Researchers want to see which approach—using special screws or wires—works better for healing and function.
Sohag, Naser CityAges 18–60 - NCT07515937Recruiting
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 - NCT07485829Recruiting
Rib fracture repair with RibFix Titan system
This trial tests a titanium rib fixation system to see how well it stabilizes broken ribs or rib cuts (osteotomies) during healing. It may be an option if you need surgery to fix rib fractures.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07463352Recruiting
Pre-surgery nutrition for frail seniors with hip fractures
This study tests if giving a special protein drink before surgery helps frail older adults with a broken hip recover better. It might reduce complications after surgery.
DüzceAges 65 years+ - NCT06769373Recruiting
Whirlpool and contrast bath for CRPS after wrist fracture
This study tests whether warm water whirlpool baths or alternating hot and cold water baths (contrast bath) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a wrist fracture that was treated without surgery.
Afyonkarahisar, AfyonkarahisarAges 18–70 - NCT06652659Recruiting
Risk factors for broken collarbone not healing properly
This study looks at why some broken collarbones in the middle section don't heal well. It follows patients treated at two hospitals to find patterns that might help prevent future healing problems.
Copenhagen NVAges 18 years+ - NCT07437339RecruitingPhase 4
Irrigation volume for open fracture cleaning
This trial tests if using less fluid to clean open fractures (broken bones that poke through the skin) works just as well as using more fluid. It compares two different amounts of salt water (saline) to see which one helps prevent infections and helps bones heal better.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07442721Recruiting
Comparing two types of nerve blocks for hip replacement pain
This study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
El Fayoum Qesm, Faiyum GovernorateAges 50–90 - NCT07430345RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Buprenorphine for pain in older adults with broken bones
This trial tests a low-dose pain medicine called buprenorphine for people 65 and older who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to find a safe way to manage pain in older adults.
Camden, New JerseyAges 65 years+ - NCT07428291Recruiting
Early rehab after knee fracture surgery
This trial tests a specific exercise program started soon after surgery for a type of knee fracture called a tibial spine avulsion. It is meant for young, active people who had a recent fall or sports injury and may help them recover movement and strength faster.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 15–25 - NCT07426926Recruiting
Home light therapy for wrist fracture recovery
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT07432737Recruiting
One vs. two doses of bleeding medicine in hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving one dose of a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) works as well as two doses during hip fracture surgery. It may help people who need surgery for a broken hip near the thigh bone.
SkopjeAges 65 years+ - NCT06286722Recruiting
