Recruiting studies
- NCT04776473Recruiting
Testing surgery timing for specific jaw joint fractures
This trial looks at how to treat a particular type of jaw joint (mandibular condyle) fracture using surgery, ideally within two weeks after the injury. If you have this fracture pattern, the study may help find the safest, most effective approach and recovery plan.
AngersAges 18–84 - 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 - 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 - NCT07006168RecruitingPhase 4
Knee Injection During Kneecap Fracture Surgery
This trial tests adding a pain-relieving injection (a 'cocktail' of medicines) into the knee joint during surgery to fix a broken kneecap. The goal is to see if this extra injection helps reduce pain and improve recovery after the operation.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06639503RecruitingPhase 1
Nerve block for leg fracture surgery recovery
This trial tests if a nerve block given during surgery for a broken tibia (shin bone) can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for open fracture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 33 recruiting open 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 open 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 open 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.
