Testing treatment for Zone 3 fifth foot bone fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is looking at how Zone 3 fractures of the small toe-side foot bone heal. It may help guide the best treatment plan for fractures like yours, especially for getting healing back on track.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a Zone 3 fracture of the fifth metatarsal (the outer part of the foot).
- You do not have nerve problems (neuropathy).
- Your fracture is closed (not open) and not from a high-energy injury.
- Your injury does not include other significant injuries that could affect healing or rehab, in either leg/foot.
- You can complete follow-up visits at one of the study centers and are willing/able to give consent.

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.
This study compares two ways of recovering after surgery for an unstable ankle fracture. Some people start putting weight on the ankle early, while others wait longer, and the study uses special shoe insoles to track how much weight you put on it.
This trial tests a new way to fix certain broken hand bones (metacarpals) using a metal plate. It compares this method to other treatments to see which works better for healing and recovery.
This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
This trial studies whether “permissive weight bearing” (walking with allowed weight) is safe and helpful after surgery for a displaced heel bone fracture. It’s meant to improve recovery while protecting the healing bone.
This trial tests whether starting to walk sooner after surgery for a specific type of ankle fracture is safe and helps recovery. It compares early walking with the usual waiting period.
