Study of an antibiotic-coated nail for femur fracture repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special antibiotic-coated nail (ZNN Bactiguard System) can help heal femur (thigh bone) fractures after surgery. It’s mainly for people who need a certain type of nail placed from the knee end and can attend follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a femur (thigh bone) fracture that needs surgery with an internal nail placed inside the bone.
- Your surgeon plans to use the ZNN Bactiguard retrograde femoral nail for your procedure.
- You can and agree to attend all required follow-up visits during the study.
- You (or your legal representative) can sign the required consent form and understand the study instructions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a specific surgical fixation method (how the thighbone pieces are held together) for distal femur or femoral shaft fractures. It aims to compare outcomes and see if this approach works well, especially by tracking results after surgery.
This study checks whether using a navigation system during surgery for certain hip (upper thigh bone) fractures can make the operation better. You may be eligible if you need a specific type of hip fracture surgery and meet the age and imaging requirements.
This trial tests a new type of metal rod (made of magnesium and titanium) that surgeons insert into broken bones to hold them steady while they heal. The rod is designed to gradually dissolve as your bone heals, potentially reducing the need for a second surgery to remove it.
This study looks at a specific type of thighbone (femur) nail that helps prevent infection, placed during fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you’re having surgery for a femur fracture or needing an osteotomy and your treatment plan includes this nail.
This study follows people age 18+ who broke the tibia (shin bone) and are at higher risk for infection. It compares a standard internal metal nail to a special coated nail to see which one lowers infection problems and supports healing.
This trial studies a special nail for certain broken shin bones to lower the chance of infection after surgery. If you qualify, the study team will help you receive the antibiotic-coated nail and will follow you closely for about a year.
