Numbing Medicine for Plateau Fracture Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected into the knee during surgery can help control pain for people with a specific type of shinbone fracture (tibial plateau fracture). If you are having surgery to fix this fracture, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a tibial plateau fracture (a break in the top of your shinbone that affects the knee joint).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to fix the fracture with plates and screws (open reduction and internal fixation).
- You are not allergic to the numbing medication bupivacaine.
- You have not had a long-term metal frame (external fixator) holding your leg bones.

This trial tests if a nerve block given during surgery for a broken tibia (shin bone) can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
This study tests numbing medicine (local anesthetic) given during surgery for broken facial bones, like the jaw or cheekbones. The goal is to see how well it works and if it helps recovery.
This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (deep iliacus plane block) can better control pain after hip fracture surgery. If you're having hip surgery under spinal anesthesia, researchers want to see if this extra block helps you recover with less pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a leg injury: a single injection of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) versus a small tube that delivers numbing medicine for a few days (catheter). It is for people who have not used strong painkillers before and have a closed leg fracture.
This study tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposome) combined with a standard numbing medicine works better for pain control after hip fracture surgery. It compares two different combinations to see which provides more effective pain relief.
