Metal nails tested to mend shattered legs

NCT ID NCT05272631

Summary

This study monitored the safety and effectiveness of two types of surgical metal nails used to repair broken thigh bones (femurs) and shin bones (tibias). It followed 241 patients who received these implants as part of their standard care to see how well and how quickly their bones healed. The goal was to collect real-world data on healing rates, pain levels, and whether patients needed additional surgeries.
