Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a recent (within 21 days) break in the thigh bone that is closed (skin not broken) and does not affect the joint.
- You could walk independently before the injury, even if you used a cane or walker.
- The fracture is on only one leg.
- You have no other severe injuries or medical problems that would require different treatment.
- You are willing and able to participate in the study, including follow-ups.

This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
This study tests whether using a robot to help perform surgery on a specific type of knee fracture (where the ligament pulls off a piece of bone) leads to better recovery. The surgery is done soon after injury, and the robot may help the surgeon place the bone fragment more precisely.
This trial tests a computer-assisted navigation system that helps doctors place screws more accurately during surgery for a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to improve surgical precision and outcomes, which may help you heal better after your surgery.
This study tests whether a robot suit can help older adults walk better after hip fracture surgery. If you are 65 or older and had surgery for a broken hip from a minor fall, you may be able to join.
