SohagAges 4–12 - NCT07761780Recruiting
Comparing two surgical approaches for tibia fracture repair
This study compares two ways surgeons reach the tibia bone during a procedure to fix a broken shinbone (tibia) with a metal rod. It aims to find which method leads to better recovery of leg function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06658379Recruiting
Can a blood test tell if your broken bone will heal quickly?
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell in your blood to see if it can predict how well a broken bone heals. If you have a certain broken bone and are getting surgery to fix it, you may be able to help find new ways to improve recovery.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT07251699Enrolling by invitation
Early weight bearing and knee exercises for tibial plateau fractures
This study tests if starting to put weight on your leg and doing knee exercises soon after surgery helps patients with a specific type of tibial plateau fracture recover better.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 25–50 - NCT05521958Enrolling by invitation
Gene activity study in severe leg muscle swelling after fracture
This study looks at gene activity (what genes are “turned on or off”) in the lower leg in people with acute compartment syndrome after a tibia (shin bone) injury. The goal is to better understand what is happening in the body and potentially guide future treatment decisions.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–90 - NCT06679049Recruiting
Comparing two nails for shin bone fractures
This study compares two types of metal rods (nails) placed inside the shin bone to fix a broken tibia. One rod is standard and the other allows tiny, controlled movements at the break to see if healing improves.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT06976801Recruiting
Comparing two types of tibia fracture surgery
This study compares a standard surgery for a broken shinbone (tibia) with a newer version that allows tiny movements to help the bone heal. If you have an unstable tibia fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02664337Enrolling by invitation
Study of what people prefer in joint and fracture treatments
This study asks patients (or parents/caregivers, for children’s injuries) about their preferences for different treatment options for certain joint and fracture problems. It may help clinicians choose care plans that match what patients value.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT06496035Recruiting
Blood flow training for leg fracture recovery
This study tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training helps people heal faster after a broken shinbone (tibia). It might improve strength and recovery during physical therapy.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT03172715Recruiting
Compare knee implant vs surgery for certain tibia fractures
This study compares two ways of treating a specific type of broken upper part of the shinbone near the knee: surgery with plates/screws versus a knee joint replacement. It may help find which option works better for restoring knee function after these fractures.
JyväskyläAges 65 years+ - NCT05022485Recruiting
Check infection prevention in high-risk tibia fractures using a special nail
This study follows people age 18+ who broke the tibia (shin bone) and are at higher risk for infection. It compares a standard internal metal nail to a special coated nail to see which one lowers infection problems and supports healing.
InnsbruckAges 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 - 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+ - NCT05421741RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic-coated nail to help prevent infection
This trial studies a special nail for certain broken shin bones to lower the chance of infection after surgery. If you qualify, the study team will help you receive the antibiotic-coated nail and will follow you closely for about a year.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06503718Recruiting
Leg fracture treatment in children and teens
