Pain relief injection for knee fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a local anesthetic injection can reduce pain after surgery for a knee fracture. It may help patients have a more comfortable recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a tibial plateau fracture, which is a break in the top part of the shinbone near the knee.
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix the fracture with plates and screws.
- You are not allergic to bupivacaine, a type of numbing medicine.
- You have not had an external fixator (a frame outside the leg) for a long time before surgery.

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 trial tests adding a pain-relieving injection (a 'cocktail' of medicines) into the knee joint during surgery to fix a broken kneecap. The goal is to see if this extra injection helps reduce pain and improve recovery after the operation.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
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 Phase 2 study compares two ways to reduce pain after total knee replacement (TKA): a steroid-enhanced nerve block versus a numbing shot called Exparel. It aims to see which option improves comfort and recovery after surgery done with spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection (bupivacaine) inside the knee joint provides better pain relief after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably after surgery.
