A new surgery for old femoral neck fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special surgical technique for people who have a femoral neck fracture (broken hip) that hasn't healed or hasn't been operated on for more than 3 weeks. It aims to improve healing and recovery using a method called the medial enhancement technique.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a broken hip (femoral neck) that hasn't been fixed with surgery after 3 weeks, or the bone hasn't healed after a previous surgery.

This trial tests a computer-guided navigation system to help doctors place screws more accurately during surgery for femoral neck fractures. If you have a new fracture in this area and need surgery, this study could offer more precise treatment.
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 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 new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
This trial studies a specific way of fixing certain hip (upper thigh) fractures using a metal nail with locking screws. It may help improve how well fractures heal and how stable the repair is.
This trial studies whether using two implants works better than one to stabilize a break in the lower part of the thigh bone. It focuses on people who can get surgery quickly after arriving at the hospital and who can be followed for a full year.
