What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study asks whether a simple ultrasound scan can safely and accurately track how well a child's broken bone is healing, compared with the standard X-ray. Children with fractures often need several X-rays during recovery, exposing them to small amounts of radiation. The trial will enroll 1,200 children with certain fractures and add a brief ultrasound exam at routine follow-ups, using a scoring system called PLUS. The goal is to see if ultrasound findings match X-ray results closely enough to reduce future radiation exposure without compromising care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Point-of-care ultrasound using the PLUS scoring system
What this could lead to
If accurate, ultrasound could replace routine X-rays for monitoring fracture healing in children, reducing radiation exposure and simplifying follow-up visits.
What could go wrong
The study is observational and early; ultrasound may not match X-ray accuracy in all cases, and it won't change treatment decisions during the trial.

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.

Who is studied

Pediatric patients aged 0 to 14 years with acute fractures of the clavicle, sternum, patella, or long bones managed conservatively with closed reduction and/or immobilization. Participants are recruited consecutively from the outpatient pediatric trauma clinic during routine follow-up visits. The study uses standard clinical care and radiographic assessment, with an additional observational ultrasound examination scored using the PLUS protocol. Surgical fractures, pathological fractures, metabolic bone disease, severe polytrauma, and non-compliance are excluded.

Ages

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 0 to 14 years. * Acute fracture of a clavicle, sternum, patella, or long bone. * Conservative treatment planned or ongoing, including closed reduction and immobilization/casting. * Scheduled for routine outpatient follow-up with clinical and radiographic assessment. * Written informed consent from parent/legal guardian, with child assent when appropriate. Exclusion Criteria: * Fractures treated surgically, including internal or external fixation. * Pathological fractures. * Metabolic bone disease or known bone fragility disorder. * Severe polytrauma or unstable clinical condition. * Inability to complete follow-up or non-compliance with study procedures.
