Improved surgical precision for broken hip treatment
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a computer-assisted navigation system that helps doctors place screws more accurately during surgery for a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to improve surgical precision and outcomes, which may help you heal better after your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed fracture of the femoral neck (the part of the thigh bone that forms the hip joint).
- You must be scheduled for surgery with internal fixation (screws or pins) to treat the fracture.
- You must be healthy enough to undergo surgery and not have infections, severe joint stiffness, certain bone diseases, or inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
- You or your legal representative must agree to join the study and understand what it involves.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new surgical technique to help heal older hip fractures that have not been surgically treated or have failed to heal. The goal is to improve bone healing and reduce pain from a non-union fracture.
This trial tests a new type of metal plate designed to fix a broken hip (femoral neck fracture) with sliding compression. The goal is to see if this plate helps the bone heal better and faster.
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
This trial compares using three versus four screws to hold a femoral neck fracture (a break in the hip bone near the joint). It aims to see which method works better for healing and recovery after internal fixation surgery.
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
