CT scan study for knee fracture repair after replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how your new knee replacement and the bone around it heal after surgery to fix a broken bone just above the knee. It may help doctors understand how well the repair holds up when you put weight on it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You recently had knee replacement surgery (less than a week ago) to fix a broken bone just above your knee.

- Your weight must be within a healthy range (BMI under 40).

This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how well the bone around a repaired knee fracture heals after a second surgery. If you’ve had surgery for a broken bone above your knee replacement, this scan might help doctors learn more about your recovery.
This study uses your routine pre-surgery CT scan to study a broken or replacement hip bone with computer modeling and lab-style analysis. It aims to help doctors better understand bone healing and improve how hip fractures and replacements are handled.
This study enrolls adults who break a bone around a hip or knee replacement soon after surgery. It creates a registry (a real-world database) to better understand these fractures and improve care over time.
This study tests a new CT scan method to see how well your hip replacement implant stays in place over time. It may help doctors improve surgery for people with severe hip pain or disability.
This study tests whether using small motion sensors during knee replacement surgery leads to better outcomes. It is for people aged 50–84 with severe knee pain from arthritis or bone damage who are scheduled for a first-time cemented total knee replacement.
