Femoral venting hole during preventive rod surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether making a small hole in the thighbone during a preventive rod surgery reduces the number of fat particles that travel to the heart. It may help lower the risk of complications during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a weakened thighbone (femur) that is at risk of breaking and need a rod (intramedullary nail) to prevent a break.
- The weakness is due to long-term bisphosphonate use (a type of bone-strengthening drug) or cancer that has not caused a break in the bone.
- You are able to give your informed consent to participate.

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 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 looks at a specific surgical fixation method (how the thighbone pieces are held together) for distal femur or femoral shaft fractures. It aims to compare outcomes and see if this approach works well, especially by tracking results after surgery.
This trial compares two types of metal rods (short and long) used to fix broken or weakened thigh bones caused by cancer. The goal is to find out which rod works better for patients, which could help improve treatment for this condition.
This study checks whether using a navigation system during surgery for certain hip (upper thigh bone) fractures can make the operation better. You may be eligible if you need a specific type of hip fracture surgery and meet the age and imaging requirements.
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.
