Continuous passive motion after certain hip or leg fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a device that gently moves your leg helps recovery after surgery for specific hip or knee fractures. It may help with healing and getting you back to moving more comfortably sooner, compared with not using the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- Your fracture must be one of these types: hip joint (acetabular), just above the knee on the thigh bone (supracondylar femur), or the knee surface on the shin bone (tibial plateau)
- You must have already had surgery to fix the fracture
- Your injuries must not prevent you from putting weight on the injured leg
- You cannot be pregnant, and you must not be incarcerated (a prisoner)

This study tests a new exercise program called the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) program to help people get back to full duty after an ankle fracture surgery. It aims to see if this program is effective and practical for recovery.
This study compares continuous passive motion (a machine that gently moves a joint without you moving it) versus the body’s tendency to form extra bone called heterotopic ossification. It aims to see whether CPM can affect how and how much bone overgrowth develops after neurologic injuries like stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury.
This trial tests the use of a special device that gently moves a child's knee after surgery. The goal is to help children with arthrogryposis regain movement and strength in their knee.
This trial tests a special “monitoring” implant added to a surgical plate to track how a broken thigh bone (femur) is healing. It may help surgeons understand healing sooner so you can get the right weight-bearing and follow-up care.
This trial tests whether a device that gently moves your ankle while you are on a breathing machine can help prevent stiffness and muscle loss in your leg. It aims to see if this simple movement therapy can improve recovery for people who are critically ill.
This study tests whether a mobile app can help with physical therapy after common bone or joint surgeries. You may qualify if you recently had a hip fracture, hip or knee replacement, or spine surgery without paralysis. The app guides your exercises at home.
