Thin plate for outer ankle bone fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a specific thin metal plate works for fixing breaks of the outer ankle bone. If you had this surgery, the study will help doctors understand recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older when you had the injury.
- You had surgery for a break of the outer ankle bone (fibula) using a low-profile (thin) metal plate.
- The break could be just the outer ankle bone, or it could also involve the inner ankle bone or the back of the ankle, or the shinbone near the ankle.
- You have standard X-rays of your ankle taken before and after the surgery.
- You are able to give your permission to be in the study, and you do not have memory problems that would prevent you from answering recovery questions.

This trial compares two ways to fix a broken ankle bone (the outer bump). Both methods use metal hardware, and the goal is to find which gives better healing and recovery.
This study compares two different surgical implants (a special plate versus a plate with a rod) used to fix a broken bone just above the knee. The goal is to see which one works better for healing.
This study tests whether using both a nail and a plate together helps heal a certain type of hip fracture where the outer part of the bone is thin. It may improve stability and recovery for patients with this specific fracture pattern.
This trial tests a new type of metal plate designed to fix a broken hip (femoral neck fracture) with sliding compression. The goal is to see if this plate helps the bone heal better and faster.
This trial tests a special “monitoring” implant added to a surgical plate to track how a broken thigh bone (femur) is healing. It may help surgeons understand healing sooner so you can get the right weight-bearing and follow-up care.
This study compares two ways of fixing a broken thigh bone in teenagers: a flexible nail (Ender rod) placed inside the bone versus a metal plate attached to the outside of the bone. It aims to see which method leads to better healing and recovery.
