Magnesium-Titanium Nail for Broken Leg, Arm, or Thigh Bones
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of metal rod (made of magnesium and titanium) that surgeons insert into broken bones to hold them steady while they heal. The rod is designed to gradually dissolve as your bone heals, potentially reducing the need for a second surgery to remove it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), or humerus (upper arm bone) that needs surgery
- You are between 18 and 80 years old with fully developed bones
- You do not have an active infection at or near the fracture site
- You can attend all follow-up appointments and complete the study as required
- You are willing to sign a consent form and participate voluntarily

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a standard surgery for a broken shinbone (tibia) with a newer version that allows tiny movements to help the bone heal. If you have an unstable tibia fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether a special antibiotic-coated nail (ZNN Bactiguard System) can help heal femur (thigh bone) fractures after surgery. It’s mainly for people who need a certain type of nail placed from the knee end and can attend follow-up visits.
This study compares two types of metal rods (one that dissolves over time, one permanent titanium) used to fix broken forearm bones in children. Researchers want to see which one helps the bone heal faster and works better overall.
This study compares two types of metal rods (nails) placed inside the shin bone to fix a broken tibia. One rod is standard and the other allows tiny, controlled movements at the break to see if healing improves.
This study looks at a specific type of thighbone (femur) nail that helps prevent infection, placed during fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you’re having surgery for a femur fracture or needing an osteotomy and your treatment plan includes this nail.
This trial studies a special nail for certain broken shin bones to lower the chance of infection after surgery. If you qualify, the study team will help you receive the antibiotic-coated nail and will follow you closely for about a year.
