Ultrasound to check bone healing after Ilizarov surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your bone is healing after Ilizarov bone transport or similar bone surgery. It aims to see if ultrasound can safely and effectively monitor the healing process, potentially reducing the need for X-rays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a procedure called Ilizarov bone transport, bone lengthening, or corrective osteotomy (a surgery to straighten or lengthen a bone).

This study is testing a new ultrasound method to see how well children's broken bones are healing, as a possible alternative to repeated X-rays. It may help reduce radiation exposure and make follow-up visits easier for kids.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your hand tendons are healing after surgery. It helps doctors see if the repair is working without needing more invasive tests.
This study tests whether a portable ultrasound device can accurately detect fractures in the long bones of the arms and legs, compared to standard X-rays. If ultrasound works well, it could provide a faster and more accessible way to diagnose fractures, especially in emergency settings.
This study uses ultrasound (a safe imaging test using sound waves) to look for hidden joint problems in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis). The goal is to find early signs of joint inflammation before they cause symptoms, which may lead to better care.
This study tests a special ultrasound scan to see how chronic diabetic or venous foot ulcers are healing. The goal is to use the scan to better track wound improvement and guide care.
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.
