Ankle exercise program after fracture surgery
This study tests a new exercise program called the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) program to help people get back to full duty after an ankle fracture surgery. It aims to see if this program is effective and practical for recovery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–50 - NCT07163091Recruiting

No reduction vs. closed reduction for wrist fractures in older adults
This trial compares two approaches for treating a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) in people 65 and older: no reduction (letting the bone heal without realigning it) versus closed reduction (realigning the bone without surgery). It aims to see if skipping reduction leads to similar outcomes and avoids unnecessary procedures.

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.
