New nail designs tracked in leg fracture patients
NCT ID NCT05272631
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracked 241 adults and teens with broken thigh or shin bones who received either a retrograde femoral nail or a tibial nail. The goal was to see how well the bones healed and if patients had pain. Researchers measured healing time and pain scores to confirm the nails are safe and work as intended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Retrograde Femoral Nail Advanced and Tibial Nail Advanced (medical devices used in surgery to fix broken leg bones)
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry confirms that these nails are safe and effective for healing leg fractures, supporting their continued use in standard care.
What could go wrong
This is a completed registry, not a controlled trial, so results may not apply to all patients. Healing depends on many factors beyond the nail itself.
