San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05686278Recruiting
Study of long-term outcomes after hip hemiarthroplasty
This is an observational study that follows people over time after hip hemiarthroplasty (a partial hip replacement). It aims to understand how well Corin hip devices work long-term in everyday care, and what outcomes to expect.
Amboise, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05701254Recruiting
Study how type 1 diabetes affects fracture risk bones
This study compares bone structure in women with type 1 diabetes versus women without diabetes, to understand why fractures can happen more easily. You may need blood tests, scans, and a small bone biopsy (a surgical sample from your hip/thigh area).
Omaha, NebraskaAges 50 years+ - NCT05728242Recruiting
Gastric ultrasound to guide anesthesia for fracture surgery
This trial studies using a bedside ultrasound scan of the stomach (“gastric ultrasound”) to help guide anesthesia decisions during surgery for traumatic fractures. It may help reduce stomach-related anesthesia risks in the operating room by better assessing stomach contents.
IstanbulAges 18–90 - NCT05766670RecruitingPhase 3
Calcium and antibiotic placed inside tibia nail for open fractures
This Phase 3 study tests whether a calcium/antibiotic “depot” released from an intramedullary nail can lower infection risk in certain open tibia fractures. It may help by delivering antibiotics right at the fracture area while the nail fixes the bone.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05775965RecruitingPhase 2
Aspirin plus rivaroxaban to prevent clots after hip fracture surgery
This trial studies which pill regimen helps prevent dangerous blood clots after hip fracture surgery. You might be eligible if you’re 50 or older and can start treatment soon after your injury.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50 years+ - NCT05825456Recruiting
Study of surgery for broken bones from metastatic cancer
This trial looks at outcomes after surgery to stabilize a broken bone caused by cancer that has spread (metastatic cancer). It may help by improving how doctors plan and measure results after specific types of bone stabilization surgery.
Ankara, altindagAges Any age - NCT05859451Recruiting
Heated tobacco product study for surgically treated leg fractures
This study looks at whether a tobacco heating system (instead of cigarettes) affects how well a surgically repaired tibia or femur fracture heals. It mainly targets smokers with a certain smoking history who do not want to join free smoking-cessation seminars.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05889559Recruiting
Testing a fluid drainage method to detect leg pressure problems
This study looks at a special drainage measurement (“tissue ultrafiltration”) to better detect and treat acute compartment syndrome, a dangerous increase in pressure in the leg after major injury. It may help doctors identify who needs urgent treatment and improve outcomes after severe leg fractures or crush injuries.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT05964140RecruitingPhase 3
Testing antibiotics after jaw fracture surgery
This trial studies whether giving (or how giving) antibiotics affects outcomes after surgery for a broken lower jaw (mandible). It may help reduce infection risk and antibiotic-related side effects if the right approach is chosen for the right patients.
Blackburn, LancashireAges 18 years+ - NCT05969561Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve block for hip-fracture pain in the ER
This trial tests whether an emergency doctor can safely and effectively place a pain-relieving nerve block in the thigh using ultrasound for people with hip fractures. It may help reduce pain while you are in the emergency department.
Douliu, Yunlin CountyAges 20 years+ - NCT06013852Recruiting
Testing AI to find fractures in the emergency room
This trial tests a computer program that helps emergency doctors find broken bones on X-rays faster. If you are an adult with a recent injury and need an X-ray of an arm, leg, or pelvis, you may help see if this AI tool improves care.
Angers, Maine Et LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT06014554Recruiting
Tailored rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery
This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program for older adults who have had surgery for a broken hip. The goal is to help you recover better and return to your daily activities.
LondonAges 60 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06113211RecruitingPhase 4
Non-opioid pain control after fracture surgery
This trial tests a combination of non-opioid medications to manage pain after surgery for a broken bone, aiming to reduce or avoid the use of opioids. It may help you control pain without the risks of strong painkillers.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT06133920Recruiting
How long to immobilize after shoulder replacement for broken upper arm
This study compares different durations of immobilization (keeping the arm still) after a reverse total shoulder replacement for a broken upper arm. It aims to find the best approach for recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 60 years+ - NCT06134908Recruiting
Preventing another fracture after first hip or spine break
This study aims to prevent another fracture in older adults who have just had their first hip or spine fracture from a minor fall. Participants will receive guidance to help strengthen bones and reduce future fracture risk.
ChangshaAges 50 years+ - NCT06179004RecruitingPhase 3
Numbing medicine comparison for wrist surgery pain
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06183541Recruiting
Nerve block for hip fracture surgery pain
