NCT ID NCT07170280
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special surgical plate to fix a hard-to-treat type of hip socket fracture. Twenty-five adults received the surgery, and doctors tracked their bone healing and hip function for up to 4 years. The goal was to see if this plate helps patients recover better than other methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Direct infrapectineal plate fixation (a surgical metal plate placed inside the pelvis to stabilize a hip socket fracture)
What this could lead to
If this surgical technique proves effective, it could become a standard way to fix a difficult type of hip socket fracture, helping patients regain better hip function.
What could go wrong
This is a small study with only 25 patients and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries risks like infection, bleeding, and nerve damage.
