New injection aims to ease pain after broken knee surgery
NCT ID NCT05037812
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 will be tracked. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
