NCT06160804 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 18

Last updated 2025-10-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that skeletal traction allows for easier intraoperative reduction time by comparing the reduction time in patients that receive skeletal traction for femoral shaft fracture to those that do not. Secondary goals are to assess the claims of improved pain control and decreased blood loss in patients that receive skeletal traction for femoral shaft fracture to those that do not.
