Fatty acid supplement for bone healing after a leg fracture
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a supplement made from cetylated fatty acids can help heal a simple leg bone fracture faster after surgery. You might be eligible if you have a specific type of leg fracture fixed with a metal rod inside the bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a simple (closed, not open) fracture in the middle of your thigh or shin bone that was fixed with a metal rod during surgery.
- You are able to put weight on your leg as tolerated after surgery.
- You do not have diabetes, you do not smoke daily, and you are not taking certain medications like steroids, chemotherapy, or blood thinners.
- You are not taking vitamin D for medical reasons (but you can stop it for the study).

This study tests whether extra protein in your diet combined with exercise can help you recover better after a hip fracture, improving your bone and muscle health and quality of life.
This trial tests whether giving special nutritional supplements soon after a broken leg, ankle, or foot bone can help you heal faster and reduce problems after surgery. You would take the supplement by mouth for a short time, and the study tracks your recovery.
This study tests whether taking a daily collagen supplement helps older adults recover better after a fragility fracture (a break from a minor fall). It may improve bone strength and healing during rehabilitation.
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
This study aims to help adults over 50 who had a recent bone fracture (from a minor fall) get better follow-up care to prevent future fractures. You will work with a nurse or coordinator to connect with your primary care doctor and learn about bone health options.
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.
