Recruiting studies
- NCT07212036Recruiting
Ultrasound for elbow fractures in children
This study uses ultrasound, a sound-wave imaging tool, to diagnose elbow fractures in children. It aims to see if ultrasound works as well as X-rays, so your child might avoid radiation.
Orlando, FloridaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07473947Recruiting
Study of bioabsorbable screws for ankle, knee, and elbow fractures in kids
This trial tests a special screw that dissolves over time to fix broken bones in the ankle, knee, or elbow. It may help children and teens avoid a second surgery to remove metal screws.
TurkuAges Up to 17 years - NCT07552766RecruitingPhase 4
Lidocaine infusion to reduce opioid use in arm fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a pain-relieving medication called lidocaine through an IV during arm fracture surgery can reduce how much opioid pain medication (like morphine) children need after surgery. The goal is to help manage pain better while using fewer opioids.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 3–18 - NCT07520851Recruiting
Does Buzzy help reduce pain during elbow pin removal?
This study tests whether a vibrating device called Buzzy can help reduce pain and fear when children have pins removed from their elbow after a fracture. Buzzy uses gentle vibration and cold to distract from discomfort during the procedure.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 3–10 - NCT07429344Recruiting
Ultrasound test to spot elbow fractures in kids 5-15
This trial checks if a simple bedside ultrasound can safely rule out fractures in children and teens who hurt their elbow. It aims to reduce unnecessary X-rays and stress for young patients and their families.
AmbergAges 5–15 - NCT05135949Recruiting
Strength therapy after elbow fractures in older adults
This study looks at how to improve strength after a specific elbow bone fracture in people age 65 and older. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part in follow-up assessments to see whether the approach helps recovery and function.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04642807Recruiting
Treatment study for minor elbow fractures in young children
This trial looks at how to manage a specific, usually less severe elbow fracture in children ages 3–8. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat “Type 1” supracondylar fractures that are not displaced.
South BrisbaneAges 3–8 - NCT04163172Recruiting
Compare two surgeries for broken lower arm elbow bone
This trial compares two operations—partial elbow replacement versus a hardware repair—for certain types of distal humeral (lower upper-arm) fractures. It may help find which approach leads to better healing and arm function after injury.
CopenhagenAges 50 years+ - NCT05131672Recruiting
Casting vs surgery for elbow bone fractures in children
This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 7–17 - NCT02469662Recruiting
Study of outcomes after Nexel total elbow replacement
This study looks at how well the Nexel total elbow replacement works over time for people who need an elbow replacement due to pain, damage, or instability. It may help the doctors understand which patients benefit most and what results to expect.
Golden, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07342959Recruiting
Anchor surgery for elbow fracture in children
This trial studies a surgery using anchors to fix a broken bone in the elbow (the medial epicondyle) in children under 15. It aims to see how well this technique works for displaced fractures.
StrasbourgAges 1–14 - NCT06496672Recruiting
Wrist-free vs usual cast for elbow fracture
This study compares two types of casts for a specific elbow fracture in children – a traditional long cast that covers the whole arm versus a shorter cast that leaves the wrist free. It aims to find out which cast helps kids heal better and with less hassle.
SingaporeAges Up to 18 years - NCT07400692Recruiting
Surgery vs. Non-surgery for Broken Elbow in Older Adults
This study compares two ways to treat a certain type of broken elbow in adults over 65 who are not extremely active or frail. It tests if using a metal plate to fix the bone during surgery leads to better arm function and recovery than treating the injury without surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for elbow fractures?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting elbow fractures studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a elbow fractures trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a elbow fractures trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
