Knee Injection During Kneecap Fracture Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests adding a pain-relieving injection (a 'cocktail' of medicines) into the knee joint during surgery to fix a broken kneecap. The goal is to see if this extra injection helps reduce pain and improve recovery after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fresh (acute) kneecap fracture that needs surgical repair.
- You can make your own decisions and agree to the surgery.
- Before the fracture, you were able to walk on your own (even with a cane or walker).
- The fracture is a closed break (the bone did not poke through the skin).
- You do not have severe other injuries (polytrauma) or a previous knee replacement.

This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This trial tests whether a single dose of methylprednisolone (a steroid) can reduce pain after ACL knee surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo, and your pain levels will be tracked.
This study tests whether a single steroid injection in the healthy knee (the one not being replaced) can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help people who have arthritis in both knees but are only having one replaced now.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac for a short time after orthopedic surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It is for people who have broken bones that need surgery with metal plates, screws, or rods.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection (bupivacaine) inside the knee joint provides better pain relief after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably after surgery.
This study compares two ways to give pain medicine during knee replacement surgery: one is injected into the bone, the other around the joint. Researchers want to see which works better and may help you recover with less pain.
