New screw for hip fracture recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical screw designed to fix hip fractures more securely, helping you regain strength and move better after surgery. It is for people who broke only a specific part of the hip and were walking well before their injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken bone in your hip that is only in a certain area (called intertrochanteric, not involving the head or neck of the thigh bone).
- The break was not caused by a disease like cancer.
- Before your injury, you could walk without help (no cane, walker, or person assisting you).
- You do not use strong pain medicines (opioids) every day for long-term pain.
- You do not have a nerve or brain condition that changes how you walk or feel in your legs (like a past stroke with walking problems or nerve damage).

This trial studies a specific way of fixing certain hip (upper thigh) fractures using a metal nail with locking screws. It may help improve how well fractures heal and how stable the repair is.
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 types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
This trial tests whether a new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
This trial tests a special surgical technique for people who have a femoral neck fracture (broken hip) that hasn't healed or hasn't been operated on for more than 3 weeks. It aims to improve healing and recovery using a method called the medial enhancement technique.
