Ultrasound Monitoring of Bone Healing in Ilizarov Bone Transport
An observational study of Bone Healing, run by Assiut University.
Trial summary
This prospective study evaluates the role of ultrasound in assessing bony union during Ilizarov bone transport. Ultrasound findings will be compared with radiographic and clinical outcomes to determine its accuracy in detecting early bone healing and predicting mechanical stability. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Role of Ultrasound in Assessment of the Bony Union in Bone Transport by Ilizarov Frame
This prospective study evaluates the role of ultrasound in assessing bony union during Ilizarov bone transport. Ultrasound findings will be compared with radiographic and clinical outcomes to determine its accuracy in detecting early bone healing and predicting mechanical stability. The study aims to establish ultrasound as a reliable, radiation-free tool to guide safe frame dynamization and removal.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Bone Healing, run by Assiut University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The role of Ultrasound in assessment of the bony union in bone transport by Ilizarov frame (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Apr 2026.
