Study of fractures around implants after injury or surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how often certain shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee fractures happen around orthopedic hardware (implants), and how they affect recovery and outcomes. Results may help doctors choose better treatment and predict risks for patients with these fracture types.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a fracture around an implant (peri-implant) or around a hip/knee/other joint replacement (periprosthetic) in certain body areas: shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, or specific leg/arm bone sites.
- Your fracture is not in the spine.
- Your fracture is not caused by cancer spread to bone, a tumor, or a pathologic (weak-bone disease) fracture.
- Your fracture was not an accident during the surgery itself, and it is not an ankle, wrist/hand fracture.
- You are not currently pregnant.

This study enrolls adults who break a bone around a hip or knee replacement soon after surgery. It creates a registry (a real-world database) to better understand these fractures and improve care over time.
This trial looks for bacteria around the implant in patients who need surgery for a broken bone near a hip or knee replacement. It aims to learn if these infections affect healing.
This study looks at whether a specific pediatric bone implant is safe and works well for children who need it. By joining, you help researchers track outcomes over time and understand possible implant-related side effects.
This trial looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
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 study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
