Bone graft comparison for broken bones that haven't healed
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of bone grafting to help a broken bone that hasn't healed. If you have a large gap in a leg or arm bone that needs surgery, this trial may help you understand your options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have a broken long bone (thigh, shin, or upper arm) that hasn't healed at least 5 months after the original surgery
- The gap in the bone is larger than 5 cm (about 2 inches)
- You do not have an active infection (fever, redness, swelling, or drainage) or are not taking antibiotics for one
- You are not severely overweight (BMI under 50)
- You are not a prisoner and are able to return for follow-up visits

This trial compares two ways to collect bone graft material for foot and ankle surgeries. It uses a special tool to take graft from either the shin bone or the hip to see which works better for healing.
This trial is following patients who receive a bone graft using a product called b.Bone to treat bone defects in the arms, legs, or pelvis. Researchers will collect information during your regular follow-up visits to see how well the bone heals.
This study tests a new bone graft material for filling gaps in bone after injury or surgery. It aims to help bone heal properly in areas like the shoulder, wrist, thigh, or shin.
This study is looking at how well a special bone graft material called NanoBone works for people who have broken an arm, leg, or pelvis and need surgery. It is for adults with fresh fractures that are treated within 4 weeks of the injury.
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 is a registry study that collects information from people who have had surgery for a broken arm or leg bone that did not heal on its own. It helps doctors better understand why some bones don't heal and how to improve treatment.
