Comparing two surgical methods for complex tibial plateau fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing complex tibial plateau fractures (breaks in the upper shin bone near the knee) to see which one leads to better knee function. You may be able to join if you have this type of fracture and are between 18 and 65 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your fracture was treated within 2 weeks of the injury.
- You do not have other fractures in the same leg.
- You do not have a fracture caused by a bone disease (pathological fracture).
- You are willing to participate and provide written consent.

This study compares two ways surgeons reach the tibia bone during a procedure to fix a broken shinbone (tibia) with a metal rod. It aims to find which method leads to better recovery of leg function.
This study compares two ways of treating a specific type of broken upper part of the shinbone near the knee: surgery with plates/screws versus a knee joint replacement. It may help find which option works better for restoring knee function after these fractures.
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 study looks at a specific type of knee fracture where the back part of the knee joint is broken. It aims to find the best way to fix it with surgery to help you heal and regain movement.
This trial tests two ways to fix complicated ankle and lower leg fractures in people over 65. It compares using a nail through the heel versus plates and screws to see which helps you heal and move better.
This study compares two different surgical implants (a special plate versus a plate with a rod) used to fix a broken bone just above the knee. The goal is to see which one works better for healing.
