First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow 120 adults aged 60 and older who have a pelvic fracture and are scheduled to receive the iFuse TORQ TNT implant, a screw-like device that stabilizes the pelvis. Researchers will check if the device stays in place, doesn't break, and doesn't require additional surgery. The goal is to see how well this implant works in real-world settings for treating pelvic fractures caused by falls or bone weakness.
