Developing new treatments from donated tissue
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study collects tissue from children having surgery for polydactyly or hip dislocation, so researchers can develop new treatments for muscle and bone problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have polydactyly (extra fingers/toes) or a dislocated hip that needs surgery.
- The surgery must already be scheduled.
- You, as a parent or guardian, must be able to give signed and dated permission for their participation.
- You must understand the study information sheet (you can ask questions if needed).

This trial tests a regenerative therapy made from a patient’s own fat tissue (a “cellular” treatment) to reduce pain and improve function in arthritis-related problems. It may help people with inflammatory or degenerative arthritis changes, if they meet safety and tissue-donation requirements.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This trial studies how well a preserved umbilical cord tissue graft works for problems with muscles, bones, or joints. It mainly looks at outcomes after receiving the graft and following up over time.
This study looks at tissue samples from people who had open surgery on their jaw joint (TMJ) to better understand how to treat severe TMJ problems. If you have already had this surgery and your tissue was saved, you may be able to help by allowing researchers to study it.
This study looks at how connective tissue in the forearm develops and how it behaves in people needing reconstructive surgery. It may help surgeons better plan and improve reconstruction for conditions like radial dysplasia, or for other injuries requiring similar surgery.
This study collects and stores biological samples to help researchers better understand muscle and bone problems like osteoarthritis, bone tumors, and infected joint implants. If you are eligible, your samples may support future research that could lead to better prevention or treatments.
