Can a blood test tell if your broken bone will heal quickly?
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell in your blood to see if it can predict how well a broken bone heals. If you have a certain broken bone and are getting surgery to fix it, you may be able to help find new ways to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a broken bone in your upper arm, forearm, thigh, or shin that is not an open wound fracture.
- You have only one main injury (or others that are similar enough for comparing recovery).
- You are planning to have surgery (osteosynthesis) to fix the bone.
- You do not have cancer, a weak immune system, or certain infections like hepatitis or HIV.

This study collects blood samples from people who have recently broken a bone (within 7 days) to test a new way of measuring how bones heal. It may help doctors better understand recovery and guide treatment.
This study uses a simple blood test to look for early signs of bone loss and fracture risk. It's for people 40 and older who are either healthy, have early bone thinning, or have known osteoporosis.
This study looks at treating certain types of upper-arm (humerus) shaft fractures started within 14 days of injury. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery in the right kinds of fractures.
This trial tests two ways to get bone graft for healing a broken bone that hasn't mended on its own. It compares using a piece of bone from your own body versus a donor piece, to see which works better.
This study looks at how lab tests and health conditions affect recovery for trauma patients with a broken arm or leg bone. It aims to improve emergency care and rehabilitation.
This trial tests a bone-healing product made from your own tissue (“autologous BonoFill-II”) to help heal difficult fractures or bone gaps that aren’t healing on their own. It’s designed for people who have a serious bone injury in an arm or leg that needs stronger support to regenerate.
