New surgical technique for old hip fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your hip fracture is more than 3 weeks old and you have not had surgery, or a previous hip surgery has not healed (non-union).
- You are able to undergo surgery and it is safe for you.
- You have no allergies to implant materials.
- You do not have active infections, certain bone diseases, or severe hip stiffness that would affect the surgery.

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.
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 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 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.
