Study of treating small open bone breaks in children
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how to treat certain small open fractures (where a bone has broken through the skin) in children using non-surgical realignment when possible. It may help doctors confirm the best early treatment approach for less severe injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has an open fracture where the bone is not just deep inside the skin
- The injury came from a low-energy event, like a fall from under 10 feet or a bicycle accident
- The wound is smaller than 1 cm, and the bone is not visible through the skin
- The fracture can be treated with closed reduction (realigning the bone without opening surgery)
- There is no heavy dirt/gross contamination in the wound
- The open fracture is not in the hand or foot

This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
This study looks at factors that affect how well a certain type of ankle fracture in children heals. It aims to improve outcomes for kids with this fracture.
This study looks at treatment for children’s wrist (distal radius) fractures that are very displaced but not involving the growth plate. It may help doctors find the best way to reset and stabilize the bone when the fracture is recent.
This study is testing a new ultrasound method to see how well children's broken bones are healing, as a possible alternative to repeated X-rays. It may help reduce radiation exposure and make follow-up visits easier for kids.
This study looks at treating a broken nose in children soon after the injury. It aims to see if early care helps the nose heal better.
