AI vs surgeon planning for hip fracture screw placement
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares an artificial-intelligence system to standard surgeon planning for placing screws in a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). It tests whether AI can improve the placement of screws that hold the bone together during healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a broken hip (femoral neck fracture), whether the bone pieces are separated or not.
- You are scheduled to have surgery where screws will be placed to fix the fracture, as your first treatment.
- You can understand the study and agree to be part of it.
- You are willing to follow the recovery instructions and come to follow-up visits as told.
- You do not have dead bone in the hip joint (avascular necrosis) on the injured side before surgery.
- You are healthy enough for surgery and do not have serious medical, memory, or mental health issues that would make it hard to follow instructions.

This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
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 compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.
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 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 study checks whether using a navigation system during surgery for certain hip (upper thigh bone) fractures can make the operation better. You may be eligible if you need a specific type of hip fracture surgery and meet the age and imaging requirements.
