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).

- 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 trial compares early full weight-bearing with partial weight-bearing after surgery for unstable ankle fractures. It uses special insoles to monitor your weight-bearing, which may help you recover faster.
This trial tests a device that moves a small piece of your shinbone to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with standard care. It is for people with advanced foot wounds who may need better blood flow.
This trial compares two surgical treatments for severe heel bone fractures. It aims to see which approach helps patients recover better after this type of injury.
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 examines a specific foot surgery (subtalar arthrodesis with a bone block) designed to correct progressive collapsing foot deformity. Researchers will use advanced imaging to measure how well the surgery corrects the foot's alignment and function.
