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 - NCT06496867Recruiting
Surgery vs. early rehab for pelvic fractures in older adults
This study compares two treatments for a specific type of pelvic fracture (LC1) in people 60 and older: surgery to fix the bone early, or non-surgical care with early rehabilitation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - NCT07738458Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for hip fracture repair
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06249126Recruiting
Heel bone fusion for severe fractures
This trial tests whether fusing the joint just below the ankle (subtalar joint) during heel bone fracture repair helps people with severe fractures heal better. You may qualify if you have a specific type of broken heel bone and can return for follow-up visits for one year.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06863129Recruiting
Surgery for thigh bone cancer: reconstruction vs. repair
This trial compares two types of surgery to fix the top part of the thigh bone that has been weakened or broken by cancer that spread from another part of the body. One surgery replaces the damaged area with an artificial joint, and the other repairs it using metal plates and screws.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06521671Recruiting
Fracture healing after hip surgery in younger adults
This trial tests whether a new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
AarhusAges 18–65 - NCT07738406Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07552766RecruitingPhase 4
Lidocaine infusion to reduce opioid use in arm fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a pain-relieving medication called lidocaine through an IV during arm fracture surgery can reduce how much opioid pain medication (like morphine) children need after surgery. The goal is to help manage pain better while using fewer opioids.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 3–18 - NCT04869332Recruiting
Three vs four screws to fix a broken hip bone
This trial compares using three versus four screws to hold a femoral neck fracture (a break in the hip bone near the joint). It aims to see which method works better for healing and recovery after internal fixation surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05699174RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two antibiotic routes for infected broken bones after surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving antibiotics by mouth (PO) works as well as giving antibiotics through a vein (IV) for an infected fracture that has not healed after prior surgery. It may help you understand which approach is safer and more effective for getting the bone to heal.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07244211Recruiting
Hip Replacement vs. Screws for Hip Fracture Recovery
This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06709365Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for complex ankle breaks in older adults
This trial tests two ways to fix complicated ankle and lower leg fractures in people over 65. It compares using a nail through the heel versus plates and screws to see which helps you heal and move better.
SohagAges 1–2 - NCT05574582Recruiting
Keyhole versus open surgery for an unhealed scaphoid bone
This study compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for scaphoid fractures that are not healing on their own. It aims to see which approach better helps the scaphoid heal after a delay or complete non-healing.
HellerupAges 18–68 - 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.
Toronto, OntarioAges 60 years+ - NCT07738380Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07733271Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for broken shin bone near ankle
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT03966716Recruiting
Hip screws or hip replacement for small hip fractures
This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 75 years+ - NCT05131321Recruiting
Testing a frailty-focused plan for serious ankle fractures
This trial studies how best to manage serious ankle or tibia-pilon fractures in older adults who may be frail or have other major health problems. The goal is to improve care decisions and outcomes after injury, especially in people more likely to have complications.
London, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT05792189Recruiting
Knee fracture surgery: plates vs knee replacement for older adults
This trial compares two ways to treat certain lower-thigh (distal femur) fractures near the knee: using plates/screws or doing a knee replacement. It aims to see which option works better for recovery and long-term outcomes.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 55–100 - 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 - 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 - 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.
