Study of incomplete atypical bone fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study follows people who have had a specific type of bone injury called an atypical fracture, or a similar fracture after little or no trauma. It aims to better understand who is affected and how these injuries behave over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 20 years old
- Have had an incomplete atypical fracture that meets the study’s diagnostic rules, or a low/none-trauma fracture that looks similar in other bones
- Your fracture should not be around a joint replacement (not peri-prosthetic)
- Your fracture should not be from a major injury (not high trauma)
- Your fracture should not be due to cancer spread in the bone (metastases) or most other bone-thinning/weakness conditions besides typical osteoporosis

This study looks at people with osteoporotic hip fractures (breaks in the femur near the hip) and evaluates their care and outcomes. It may help improve how hip fractures are treated in people whose bones are weaker due to osteoporosis.
This study follows people who have had a minor bone break but whose bone density is not in the osteoporosis range. It aims to learn more about bone health in this group, which may help doctors better prevent future fractures.
This study looks at how long people with osteoporosis or fragility fractures wait before getting treatment to prevent more fractures, and what effects that delay might have. If you have had a fracture from a minor fall or no clear cause, this research may help improve future care.
This study aims to help adults over 50 who had a recent bone fracture (from a minor fall) get better follow-up care to prevent future fractures. You will work with a nurse or coordinator to connect with your primary care doctor and learn about bone health options.
This study is testing how well two surgical implants work for fixing certain types of broken thigh bone (distal femur) in people aged 55 and older. The goal is to find the best way to help you heal and get back to your daily activities.
This trial is studying people age 17+ with a recently fractured upper arm bone near the shoulder, using CT scans and 3D planning. It may help doctors improve how these fractures are evaluated and treated after injury.
