Ultrasound to Check Bone Healing During Ilizarov Treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to see how well bone is healing in people who have a procedure called Ilizarov bone transport, bone lengthening, or corrective osteotomy. It may help avoid extra X-rays and give doctors a clearer picture of your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called Ilizarov bone transport to fix a bone gap or deformity.
- You are scheduled to have a surgery to make a bone longer (lengthening) or correct its shape (corrective osteotomy).
- You do not have any other conditions that would prevent you from having these specific bone procedures.

This study uses ultrasound to see how well a child's broken bone is healing during routine checkups, which may reduce the need for X-rays. It is for children with certain fractures that are treated without surgery.
This trial uses a harmless ultrasound to check for early, non-obvious joint and muscle problems in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who have not been diagnosed with arthritis.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how well hand tendons are healing after repair surgery. If you had a first-time tendon repair and can return for a follow-up ultrasound, you may be able to join and help doctors see if ultrasound is a good tool for early recovery checks.
This study tests if ultrasound can accurately measure the length of magnetically controlled growing rods used in leg bone lengthening. It may help doctors monitor treatment without extra X-rays.
This trial uses a device to measure how your body heals after a serious arm or leg fracture. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery.
This study tests how well a bedside ultrasound (POCUS) can find fractures in long bones like the arm or leg. It may help diagnose you faster and with less radiation than X-rays.
