What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial investigates whether a robotic system can improve the accuracy of bone realignment and fixation in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Adults with fractures will receive surgery assisted by the R-Universal® robot, which uses 3D navigation to guide precise movements. The goal is to see if this approach shortens recovery time and reduces complications compared to standard techniques.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
robotic-assisted surgery using the R-Universal® Intelligent Robotic Surgical System
What this could lead to
If successful, robotic assistance could make orthopaedic trauma surgery more precise, reduce complications, and speed up recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study with 200 participants, and the benefits over standard surgery are not yet proven. Robotic systems can also be costly and require specialized training.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 200 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jun 2026

Expected to finish

Mar 2031

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females aged 18 years or older * With orthopaedic trauma and fracture * Willing to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Cognitive problems e.g., severe dementia (unable to agree for consent) * Unable to agree for consent * Surgeons decide that surgery is not indicated for the patients
