Weight-Bearing CT for Knee Fractures Above a Replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how well the bone around a repaired knee fracture heals after a second surgery. If you’ve had surgery for a broken bone above your knee replacement, this scan might help doctors learn more about your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old
- You had a second surgery to fix a broken bone above your knee (distal femur) that was around an existing knee replacement, and that surgery was at least 1 year ago
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or below
- You can stand on one leg by yourself for a short time (for a special CT scan)
- You are willing to come in for study appointments and can follow instructions in English

This study enrolls adults who break a bone around a hip or knee replacement soon after surgery. It creates a registry (a real-world database) to better understand these fractures and improve care over time.
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how your new knee replacement and the bone around it heal after surgery to fix a broken bone just above the knee. It may help doctors understand how well the repair holds up when you put weight on it.
This study uses your routine pre-surgery CT scan to study a broken or replacement hip bone with computer modeling and lab-style analysis. It aims to help doctors better understand bone healing and improve how hip fractures and replacements are handled.
This trial uses a special CT scan taken while you stand to see how the shape of your knee joint relates to your knee pain. It may help researchers better understand knee arthritis and front-of-knee pain.
