Managing blood loss from broken leg, arm, or hip bones
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the body handles blood loss after a serious bone break, like a broken thigh, shin, or hip. It may help doctors understand the best way to treat people who have lost blood from these injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a broken bone in your leg, arm, or pelvis (hip area) confirmed by X-ray or CT scan.
- You must come to the hospital within 24 hours of the injury.
- You must not have a stab or gunshot wound to the belly or chest.
- You must not have a bleeding disorder or be taking blood-thinning medicine.
- You must not have a minor break (like in your hand or foot) that is the only injury.

This study is testing different ways to use blood transfusions in emergency situations to improve survival and recovery for people with severe bleeding from injury or stomach/intestinal bleeding. The goal is to find the best transfusion approach to help patients like you.
This study tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training helps people heal faster after a broken shinbone (tibia). It might improve strength and recovery during physical therapy.
This study is looking at how the brain, bone marrow, and gut interact after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand how to better treat trauma patients.
This trial studies how bone marrow and blood-making cells may behave after severe trauma or after elective (planned) hip surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide better care.
This trial tests a standard set of emergency blood transfusions for people with life-threatening bleeding from a serious injury. It aims to improve survival by giving blood products quickly before reaching the hospital.
This study looks at how the body’s blood-related immune system “switches on” in unusual ways after a major injury or elective hip repair. The researchers hope this helps them understand who is at risk for complications and why, by measuring changes in your blood around the time of surgery or hospital treatment.
