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.
Who can take part
- You recently had knee replacement surgery (less than a week ago) to fix a broken bone just above your knee.
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- Your weight must be within a healthy range (BMI under 40).
- You can stand on one leg without help for a short period during a CT scan.
- You have not had a previous knee replacement revision on the same knee.

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 trial tests a new way to plan hip replacement surgery using a CT scan. It may help doctors place the new hip more accurately, which could lead to better outcomes.
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
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 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.
