Leg fracture treatment in children and teens
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks back at how children and teens with a displaced break in the middle part of the shinbone were treated at Strasbourg University Hospital. It aims to compare different treatments (like a cast or surgery) to learn which work best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 18 years old (child or adolescent).
- You were treated for a broken shinbone (tibia) at Strasbourg University Hospital between June 2004 and April 2024.
- The break was in the middle part of the shinbone and the bone ends were displaced (not aligned).
- The fracture was not an open fracture (bone did not come through the skin).
- You (or your parent/guardian) have not objected to your medical data being used for research.

This study looks at what factors predict healing and outcomes for a specific kind of shinbone fracture in the leg growth area. It may help doctors better estimate prognosis and choose care plans for similar fractures.
This study compares two types of surgery for a certain kind of shinbone (tibia) fracture in teenagers. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and recovery with fewer complications.
This study compares two ways to treat a displaced tibial (shin) shaft fracture in children: using a cast only versus using a metal nail inside the bone. It may help doctors understand which approach best supports healing and recovery.
This trial looks at a specific type of knee fracture — one that involves the back part of the shin bone. It aims to learn more about these injuries and how to best treat them.
This study compares two ways to fix a broken thigh bone in children aged 10 to 16. One method uses a flexible metal rod (Ender nail) inside the bone, the other uses a plate and screws on the outside. The goal is to see which helps the bone heal better.
This study compares a standard surgery for a broken shinbone (tibia) with a newer version that allows tiny movements to help the bone heal. If you have an unstable tibia fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join.
