Bioactive glass for open pilon fracture repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special glass material to help heal severe ankle bone fractures. It may help people who need a bone graft after an open pilon fracture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a severe open ankle fracture that needs a bone graft
- You can agree to join the study before your main surgery

This research studies how to treat severe ankle fractures (called pilon fractures) that damage the joint surface. Researchers will use external fixation (a temporary metal frame outside the skin) to stabilize your ankle while they plan surgery to repair the cartilage damage.
This trial tests a new bone graft material called FIBERGRAFT Aeridyan for people needing spinal fusion to stabilize their lower back. It aims to see if it helps bones heal together safely and effectively.
This trial tests a special glass material (bioactive glass S53P4) placed into the bone after surgery to treat a diabetic foot infection in the forefoot. It may help heal the infection better than standard care.
This study tests a special glass fiber material (BBFGM) placed on diabetic foot ulcers to help them heal. It is for people with diabetes who have a foot wound that hasn't healed in 4 weeks to 2 years, is a certain size, and may involve deeper tissue or bone.
This trial tests a bone-healing product made from your own tissue (“autologous BonoFill-II”) to help heal difficult fractures or bone gaps that aren’t healing on their own. It’s designed for people who have a serious bone injury in an arm or leg that needs stronger support to regenerate.
This trial tests a new material called FlexiOss to help heal broken bones in the leg or foot. It aims to see if the material is safe and effective for bone regeneration.
