Plate for thigh bone with a rod in weak bones
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a special metal plate for the thigh bone (femur) in patients with weak or deformed bones. The goal is to help fix fractures and support the bone better than a traditional rod.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have brittle bones (osteoporosis) and a thigh bone deformity.
- You may have osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) or rickets from low vitamin D.
- You need to be at least 18 years old (your bones must be fully grown).
- You must be currently getting medical treatment for your bone condition.

This study compares two ways of fixing a broken thigh bone in teenagers: a flexible nail (Ender rod) placed inside the bone versus a metal plate attached to the outside of the bone. It aims to see which method leads to better healing and recovery.
This study compares two different surgical implants (a special plate versus a plate with a rod) used to fix a broken bone just above the knee. The goal is to see which one works better for healing.
This trial tests a special “monitoring” implant added to a surgical plate to track how a broken thigh bone (femur) is healing. It may help surgeons understand healing sooner so you can get the right weight-bearing and follow-up care.
This study tests whether using both a nail and a plate together helps heal a certain type of hip fracture where the outer part of the bone is thin. It may improve stability and recovery for patients with this specific fracture pattern.
This trial tests a new type of metal rod (called an intramedullary nail) made from a magnesium-titanium blend that helps stabilize broken long bones while they heal. It may be a good option for people who need surgery for fractures in the thigh, shin, or upper arm.
This trial compares two types of metal rods (short and long) used to fix broken or weakened thigh bones caused by cancer. The goal is to find out which rod works better for patients, which could help improve treatment for this condition.
