Tibia fracture

This study follows 757 people who received the Persona Partial Knee system, a device used to replace only the damaged part of the knee. The goal is to see how long the implant lasts and how well patients function afterward. Participants have knee arthritis or related conditions a…

This study tests whether a saphenous nerve block can safely reduce pain after surgery for a tibial plateau fracture. Typically, nerve blocks are avoided in these fractures because numbness might mask compartment syndrome, a serious complication. The saphenous nerve block targets …

This study looks at whether a special pain injection given around the knee during surgery can lower pain for people with a tibial plateau fracture (a break in the top of the shinbone). About 150 adults with this type of fracture will receive the injection, and their pain scores w…

This study planned to test whether adding ear acupuncture to standard pain management could reduce opioid use after surgery for lower leg fractures. It was designed for adults aged 18–64 undergoing ankle or foot fracture repair. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling a…

This study looks at whether starting weight bearing and active knee exercises soon after surgery for a tibial plateau fracture (a type of knee break) helps reduce pain, improve knee movement, and support bone healing. About 28 adults aged 18 to 50 who had a specific type of fract…

This study aimed to see if adding blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy to standard physical therapy improves recovery after surgery for a tibial plateau fracture. It planned to enroll adults who had that surgery and measure knee function, muscle size, and movement over one year. …

This study follows 50 adults who had surgery for a broken shinbone to see if changes in the kneecap tendon's stiffness relate to knee pain. Researchers use a special ultrasound before and up to 6 months after surgery. The goal is to better understand why some people develop front…

This study compares two recovery plans for people who had surgery for a specific type of knee fracture (unicondylar tibial plateau fracture). One group will start putting weight on their leg after 6 weeks, while the other follows the standard 10-week wait. Researchers will measur…

This study looks at how the body's inflammatory response after a specific type of knee fracture might be linked to developing arthritis later. Researchers will measure inflammatory markers in the joint fluid and blood of 60 adults with a tibial plateau fracture. They will also us…

This study compares genetic differences and muscle gene activity in people who develop acute compartment syndrome after a leg fracture versus those who do not. Researchers will measure a protein called myostatin in muscle tissue. The goal is to better understand why some people g…

This pilot study tests whether stitches or staples are better for closing surgical wounds after fixing broken leg bones. About 50 adults with certain leg fractures will be randomly assigned to one closure method. The main goal is to see if such a study is practical, not to prove …

This study follows about 1500 adults with hip, shin, ankle, upper arm, or wrist fractures for up to one year. Researchers collect information on healing, patient-reported symptoms, and activity patterns using questionnaires and wearable sensors. The goal is to understand recovery…

This study asks over 2,300 people with various joint conditions (like arthritis, fractures, and hip problems) to fill out surveys about their treatment preferences. Researchers want to learn how factors like pain, recovery time, cost, and surgery versus non-surgery affect patient…

This study looks at whether patients with surgically treated leg, pelvis, or hip socket fractures can safely start walking right away instead of waiting 6-12 weeks. About 100 adults will be randomly assigned to immediate weightbearing or delayed weightbearing. The goal is to see …

This study aimed to see if custom carbon fiber braces could reduce forces on the ankle joint after a fracture, potentially lowering the risk of arthritis. It planned to enroll adults with healed ankle fractures and test different brace designs. However, the study was withdrawn be…

This registry follows 1,000 children with long bone fractures to see how different treatments (casts, surgery, or splints) affect healing. Doctors collect data on recovery, movement, and complications over two years. The goal is to learn which treatments work best for different f…
