Bone fracture

This study looked at a shoulder implant used to treat pain and joint problems from conditions like arthritis, fractures, and rotator cuff tears. It involved 67 adults who received the implant and tracked how long it lasted and any side effects over 10 years. The goal was to confi…

This study tested a new device called the Vertebral Implant PEEK (VIP) for people with spine fractures due to osteoporosis. The goal was to see if the implant is safe and helps repair the broken bone. The study included 23 adults aged 50 and older with recent fractures that did n…

This study tested a special cement that mimics natural bone to repair broken vertebrae in adults aged 18 to 65. The cement is designed to be absorbed by the body and replaced with new bone over time. Only 4 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see …

This study tested a new bone grafting material called SurgiFill™ in 60 people with broken thigh or shin bones. The goal was to see if it helps bones heal faster and safely. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.

This study tested a special curved rod implant designed to fix broken pelvic and hip socket bones. It included 53 adults who had already received the implant. Researchers tracked whether patients needed more surgeries and how well they could move and bear weight afterward.

This study looked at the TITAN Reverse Shoulder System, a device used to replace the shoulder joint in people with severe arthritis and a torn rotator cuff. The goal was to see if it relieves pain and improves movement. About 151 people were planned to take part, but the study wa…

This study compared two common nerve block techniques for pain relief after hip fracture surgery: femoral nerve block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca block. Only 17 adults participated before the trial was terminated early. The goal was to see which block reduces pain and the nee…

This study looked at whether a steroid (glucocorticoid) injection given around the time of surgery could improve wrist movement and reduce pain in adults with a broken wrist. About 38 people were planned to take part, but the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the in…

This study looked at two common ways to manage pain in children after elbow fracture surgery: opioids versus over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The goal was to see if non-opioid options work just as well, reducing the need for opioid prescriptions. The…

This small trial tested whether adding a special protein-and-vitamin powder to the diet could help older adults walk better after surgery for a broken femur. Only 20 people took part, and the study was stopped early. The main goal was to see if the supplement improved walking spe…

This study looks back at medical records of up to 118 patients in Italy who had surgery using the GALAXY FIXATION system or other Orthofix devices to stabilize fractures of the long bones (like the thigh or shin) or the pelvis. The goal is to see how well these devices hold the b…

This study tested a new technique that uses a special form of creatine (deuterated creatine) to measure muscle mass more directly and accurately in older adults. The goal was to see if this method works well in both healthy older adults and those recovering from a hip fracture. T…

This study looked at how a person's sense of smell changes after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery, a procedure done through the nose to remove tumors or other abnormalities. Researchers measured smell using a simple identification test in 50 patients before and after surge…

This study looked at whether washing out the ankle joint with salt water within 48 hours of a fracture can lower inflammation and prevent cartilage breakdown. Researchers measured chemicals in the joint fluid of 41 adults before and after surgery. The goal was to see if early cle…

This study looked at the safety and performance of the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening Nail, a device implanted in the bone to help repair large bone gaps or correct leg length differences. Only one person took part before the study was stopped early, so the results are very li…

This study aimed to see if a cast that keeps the elbow straight or bent works better for certain forearm fractures in children. Only 3 children joined before the study was stopped early. Because of this, we cannot say which cast is better.

This study followed 10 people who received an ESOP 2 hip stem during total hip replacement. Researchers wanted to see how safe and effective the device was over 10 years in real-life use. The study was stopped early, so the full long-term picture is incomplete.

This study looked at a specific hip implant shell (the Pinnacle Acetabular Shell) used in total hip replacement. Researchers wanted to see how much the implant moved (migrated) over two years using a special X-ray technique called RSA. They also tracked how patients felt and func…
