Monitoring plate to improve healing after a femur fracture
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- Your growth plates were closed at the time of your injury
- You have a femur fracture that needs surgery with a specific type of surgical plate
- You can usually walk fully (full weight-bearing) before the injury and can do at least 15 kg weight-bearing after surgery
- You can have (and agree to) a second surgery to remove the monitor if it isn’t removed with the main plate within two years
- You can sign written consent and you are not pregnant

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 plate designed to fix a broken hip (femoral neck fracture) with sliding compression. The goal is to see if this plate helps the bone heal better and faster.
This study compares two different surgical implants (a special plate versus a plate with a rod) used to fix a broken bone just above the knee. The goal is to see which one works better for healing.
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 trial studies whether using two implants works better than one to stabilize a break in the lower part of the thigh bone. It focuses on people who can get surgery quickly after arriving at the hospital and who can be followed for a full year.
This trial tests a computer-assisted navigation system that helps doctors place screws more accurately during surgery for a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to improve surgical precision and outcomes, which may help you heal better after your surgery.
