Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Ununited"

The treatment for scaphoid proximal pole nonunion remains challenging due to the poor vascularity in the proximal pole fragment, associated SL injury and the technique of fixation. Vascularized bone grafts and non-vascularized iliac bone graft have been used in patients with scaphoid proximal pole nonunion, but the indication has not been well clarified. Alternatively, we have been treating such patients with vascularized bone graft , or non-vascularized bone graft with screw or k-wire fixation with considerable success. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze retrospectively the surgical efficacy of our procedure.

Assessment of the efficacy of the multistage technique in the eradication of infection and achieving the union of traumatic infected femoral un-united shaft fractures in adult patients for one year follow up.

The study is aimed to compare the effectiveness of "Histograft" bone substitute (gene-activated bone substitute based on octacalcium phosphate and plasmid DNA encoding VEGFA gene) mixed with shredded autobone and pure shredded auto bone harvested from iliac crest in treatment of patients with long bone nonunions

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of genetic testing to look for possible infection as a cause for failure of non-healing fractures. The study aims to compare the results of genetic testing known as NGS to standardized clinical laboratory tests for diagnosing infections to see if NGS may be a better diagnostic tool.
