Tibial Fractures clinical trials at University of California Health

4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Accelerated Flap Coverage in Severe Lower Extremity Trauma

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if accelerated flap coverage compared to standard flap coverage timing leads to improved infection-related complications in patients with open fractures and/or dislocations below the knee. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either a flap within a goal of 72 hours of injury or standard of care flap timing for the institution. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 6 months after randomization. Components of the composite outcome will be hierarchically assessed in the following order: 1) all-cause mortality, 2) amputation related to injury, 3) re-operation for infection and/or flap complication (flap compromise, partial and/or complete flap failure), and 4) days in hospital, defined as days in an acute in-patient hospital (i.e., not rehab or nursing facility).

  • Case Series: TRUMATCH Graft Cage for Segmental Long Bone Defects

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This project consists of a prospective case design. Study candidates will include all patients ages 18 and over who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have a critical-sized humerus, femur, or tibia segmental defect that would be fixed through surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will receive the TRUMATCH Graft Cage for their long bone segmental defect repair. Data on healing rates, complication rates, re-operation rates, time to return to normal activity, and pain levels will be collected for each participation. After 3 years of data collection, we will analyze this data to provide further insight on the utility of the TRUMATCH Graft Cage. Given the significant difficulty with repairing segmental long bone defects, it is imperative to evaluate novel systems to appropriately manage these injuries.

  • Early Weight Bearing on Rehabilitation Outcomes in Patients With Traumatic Ankle and Tibial Plateau Fractures

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The overall objective of this study is to compare outcomes following early versus delayed weight bearing for adult patients operatively treated for an ankle fracture without syndesmotic fixation. Additionally, early weight bearing will be tested in patients with unicondylar plateau fractures that do not involve joint impaction in the context of a pilot study.

  • Post Market Evaluation of Clinical Safety and Performance of the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening System

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    This is an open-label, prospective, observational, post-market, uncontrolled, multi-center study intended to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the FITBONE Transport and Lengthening Nail when used according to the manufacturer's Instructions for Use. The FITBONE Transport & Lengthening Nail is a variant of the FITBONE TAA Nail, which has been commercially available in the US since 2017. The clinical performance and safety of the medical device have been assessed based on mechanical and biomechanical tests and clinical data obtained from scientific publications on equivalent products. This study intends to prospectively obtain clinical safety and performance data on the device, as used according to the manufacturer's Instructions for Use, in the real-world clinical setting. The data obtained from this study will also be used to provide additional clinical evidence to support product registrations, as required by various regulatory bodies outside the US. Eligible participants will have been selected by their physician to be treated with the FITBONE Transport and Lengthening System as part of treatment for their condition or injury. All procedures will be according to the physician's standard care practices. There are no study-specific procedures or requirements for participants in this study.
