Weight-Bearing CT Scans for Periprosthetic Fractures
London, Ontario
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure commonly conducted for patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis, often leading to improved pain relief and function. However, for patients that have suffered an associated periprosthetic fracture, a broken bone that occurs around the implant of a TKA, they may receive sub-optical care due to a lack of a trustworthy assessments for component fixation and fracture healing in the literature. The prevalence of TKA surgeries is increasing annually and is projected to rise further due to an ageing population and obesity issue. By extension to this primary surgery, more Canadians will require an invasive revision surgery that risks patient morbidity and mortality. Thus, it is imperative to set a standard for fixation and bone healing assessments to lessen revision burdens and improve patient outcomes. CT imaging can effectively visualize areas of incomplete bone ingrowth that may be hidden from overlapping anatomy on plain radiographs, which remains the go-to imaging modality for orthopaedic surgeons to assess periprosthetic fracture healing. The purpose of this prospective cross-sectional study is to examine the efficacy of weight-bearing CT as a diagnostic tool for 20 participants who experienced a distal femur periprosthetic fracture and underwent revision surgery using a fracture fixation plate and screws. Participants will be scanned under loaded and unloaded conditions. Radiographic outcomes will be evaluated, including bone segment displacement and its relation to participants' reports of pain.

Ketamine vs Lidocaine for Rib Fractures
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Rib fractures continue to be a common occurrence in trauma patients of all ages. Traumatic rib fractures can cause severe pain in patients and lead to shallow breathing and further complications such as the need for mechanical ventilation, hospital or ventilator associated pneumonia, atelectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Effective multimodal pain management is needed to optimize a patient's respiratory status and can also play a role in early mobility, less pulmonary complications, shorter ICU and hospital length of stay, and decreased mortality. Current multimodal pain management options include opioids, muscle relaxants, gabapentin, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and various regional/neuraxial anesthesia techniques. Both ketamine and lidocaine infusions for pain control have also been shown in studies to be safe and effective, with the benefit of minimizing the use of opioids. However, there have been very few studies that have used ketamine or lidocaine infusions for pain control specifically in patients with traumatic rib fractures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate ketamine versus lidocaine infusions as an adjunctive therapy to reduce opioid consumption in the first 72 hours in patients with multiple traumatic rib fractures.

Emergency Department Treatment for Open Fractures
Chicago, Illinois
Open fractures are frequently encountered in orthopaedics. Treatment usually calls for a formal, operative procedure in which the bone is exposed, foreign tissue is debrided and the wound is irrigated. While this is the current standard of care, not all open fractures are equal. In retrospective studies, centers are reporting less aggressive operative management for open fractures may result in equal results without the time and expense of the operative theater. The investigators propose a prospective, randomized trial of children with type I open fractures to evaluate whether formal operative treatment is necessary. The investigators' hypothesis is that minor open fractures can be safely treated in the emergency room with irrigation, closed reduction and home antibiotics without an increased risk of infection or other complications. Children who meet the study criteria will be randomized into two treatment arms - formal operative management (OR) and emergency department (ED) management. Outcomes from each group will be evaluated and compared, including rate of infection, number of return visits to the operating room, time to union, and other complications.

Physical Therapy for Broken Humerus
Charlottesville, Virginia
Proximal humerus fractures can be a debilitating injury in the elderly, impacting the ability to function independently or complete activities of daily living due to pain and restricted shoulder motion. Evidence has shown that reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is an effective option to improve pain and function for patients with acute displaced proximal humerus fractures. Given that patients undergoing rTSA for proximal humerus fractures typically experience worse functional outcomes, worse patient-reported outcomes, and higher rates of complication compared to those with elective indications for surgical intervention, it is critical to determine a secure path to recovery for these patients after surgery. Early rehabilitation has been proposed to be safe and effective for patients who undergo rTSA for elective indications; however, there is a paucity of research evaluating safety and effectiveness of timing of rehabilitation for rTSA patients in the trauma setting. Currently, there exists a great variability in postoperative rehabilitation protocols across orthopaedic practices. This study's objective is to determine the safety and effectiveness of early postoperative rehabilitation on the outcomes and postoperative complications of patients undergoing rTSA for proximal humerus fractures in order to provide more specific recommendations for this patient population.

Social Work Support for Fractures
Hamilton, Ontario
Every year, many Canadians sustain a fracture that requires surgical treatment and results in a long recovery period. During this recovery period, patients may experience new or worsening mental health issues including depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, patients may experience new or worsening social and financial problems, such as food and housing insecurity, due to being unable to work or take care of other daily responsibilities. Current care for fracture patients is focused on treating their physical injuries and overlooks these other challenges. To address this gap in care, the investigators propose having a social worker available in the fracture clinic to provide patients with support beyond the care of their physical injury.
The investigators propose a trial of 2,000 patients to determine if social worker support improves recovery for patients after a serious fracture by reducing the number of times they return to the emergency room or urgent care centre. This trial will also determine if social work support improves patients' mental health, financial security, ability to work, and level of satisfaction with the care they receive, and whether it reduces the amount of opioid medication they use and number of missed visits during their recovery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either support from a social worker or usual care. For patients assigned to receive social worker support, the social worker will assess their individual needs and provide support, information, and referrals to social support services. The social worker will continue to support patients for up to one year after they join the trial. Patients will complete questionnaires at enrollment and at 6 weeks and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after enrollment.
If this trial shows that support from a social worker in the fracture clinic during their recovery period is beneficial to patients who have experienced a serious fracture requiring surgery, it has the potential to change care for patients who experience these potentially life-changing injuries.

Intramedullary Screw vs. K-wire Fixation for Broken Finger
Hamilton, Ontario
When people break their fingers, sometimes surgery is needed to align the bones to heal them properly. There are different ways to fix broken bones in hands, such as plates, pins, or screws. Each method has pros and cons; fixing a broken bone with plates is usually a larger surgery with more cutting but holds the bones very securely. Pins require little to no cutting but the patient needs to immobilize their hand for a few weeks afterwards. Screws are a newer method of fixing broken fingers that requires little cutting and also holds the bones securely. The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of using pins versus screws in surgery for broken fingers. The investigators are studying whether using screws leads to better hand function, patient satisfaction, and quicker return to work.

PREVENT Program for Hip Fractures
Hamilton, Ontario
Hip fractures occur nearly twice as often for older adults residing in long-term care as they do in older adults of a similar age still living in other settings. Hip fractures are the leading cause of hospitalization and often result in loss of independence, problems with walking and sometimes death. To address this problem the PREVENT (Person-centered Routine Fracture PrEVENTion in LTC) program was designed for use in long-term care homes. PREVENT uses a tool ("fracture risk calculator") based on a residents electronic health record to capture who is most at risk of fracture due to osteoporosis and falls. The program then trains the health care team including doctors, pharmacists and nurses on the latest recommendations on how to best assist residents and their families in making treatment decisions. The healthcare teams are also given tools that help them stay on track such as templates for ordering medications, strategies to reduce falls and fractures and making care plans. The study will examine if this program is effective for decreasing hip fractures by assigning some homes to receive the PREVENT program (intervention group) and some homes to usual care (control group) and comparing the results.

Virtual Rehabilitation for Spinal Fracture
Hamilton, Ontario
Spine fractures are the most common fracture due to osteoporosis. They happen during falls or activities of daily life, like bending to tie shoes. Fractures of the spine can result in pain, which can sometimes last for a long time. Spine fractures can affect breathing, appetite, digestion, and mobility, and can restrict or modify people's work or daily activities. There are no standard rehabilitation programs after spine fracture, and patients often have to pay for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can be hard to access, especially in rural or remote locations. It can be hard to find health care or rehabilitation providers who specialize in treating spine fractures. After reviewing research and consulting patients and health care providers to understand their experiences with spine fracture rehabilitation, the research team developed a toolkit for a virtual rehabilitation program for people with spine fractures, called VIVA.
The research team wants to submit a grant for a clinical trial to implement VIVA in five provinces and determine if VIVA reduces pain and improves physical functioning and quality of life, and if the benefits outweigh the costs. Before this, the team proposes to do a pilot study to test how feasible it is to do a study of VIVA in three provinces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Bone Fractures clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Bone Fractures clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Bone Fractures trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Bone Fractures is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Bone Fractures medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Bone Fractures clinical trials?
Most recently, we added OPTIONS Program for Osteoporosis, CINB + Medical Therapy for Rib Fractures and Morphine or Ketamine for Pain to the Power online platform.
