-
Carbon‑fiber lateral plate versus plate-and-nail repair for distal femur fractures
This trial will see if a carbon-fiber (CarboFix) lateral femur plate leads to fewer non-unions than the standard plate-plus-nail repair in adults having surgery for a distal femur fracture.
-
Comparing knee joint replacement to surgical fixation for elderly patients with distal femur fractures
This study is testing whether total knee joint replacement or surgical fixation works better for older patients with broken thigh bones near their knee to help them feel less pain and improve their daily activities.
-
Comparing two surgical methods for treating distal femur fractures
This study is testing which of two surgical methods works better for helping older patients recover from specific knee fractures after they've had knee replacement surgery.
-
Comparing knee replacement to surgical fixation for elderly patients with distal femur fractures
This study is trying to see if knee replacement or surgical fixation works better for older patients with certain types of thigh bone fractures.
