Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - NCT05877014RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two fixation methods for adult arm shaft fractures
This trial tests whether one surgical technique (for stabilizing the upper-arm bone using a rod placed inside the bone) works better than another for adult humeral shaft fractures. It may help find the approach that leads to better healing and recovery.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT03796572RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain relief after a specific elbow bone fracture
This trial studies whether a pain-relief “nerve block” with medicine helps control pain after surgery for a particular type of elbow (humerus) fracture. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery, compared with standard pain control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4–12 - NCT05351112Recruiting
Shoulder fracture replacement study for adults using a Zimmer Biomet system
This trial studies how safe and well a specific shoulder replacement system works after certain serious shoulder injuries or failed prior treatments. You may be considered if you need shoulder surgery for complex proximal humerus fractures or related post-injury problems, and you can return for follow-up visits.
SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT05703958Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for a shoulder fracture plate
This study follows people who received a specific shoulder (proximal humerus) fracture plate system, to track how the implant performs over time. It helps doctors understand long-term safety and durability of the device after surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT07775690Recruiting
Comparing two plate types for mid-upper arm fracture surgery
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing a break in the middle of the upper arm bone. It aims to find which approach leads to better healing and recovery for patients.
Sāhīwāl, Punjab ProvinceAges 16–65 - NCT06416618Recruiting
Surgery vs. No Surgery for Shoulder Fracture, Ages 50-65
This trial compares surgery versus non-surgical treatment for a broken shoulder bone (proximal humerus) in adults aged 50 to 65. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery and function.
Køge, Region SjællandAges 50–65 - NCT04523415Recruiting
CT-based study of displaced upper arm bone fractures
This trial is studying people age 17+ with a recently fractured upper arm bone near the shoulder, using CT scans and 3D planning. It may help doctors improve how these fractures are evaluated and treated after injury.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 17 years+ - NCT06133920Recruiting
How long to immobilize after shoulder replacement for broken upper arm
This study compares different durations of immobilization (keeping the arm still) after a reverse total shoulder replacement for a broken upper arm. It aims to find the best approach for recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 60 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 - NCT05976256Recruiting
Kinesio tape for new shoulder or chest injuries
This trial looks at whether kinesio tape (elastic therapeutic tape) helps pain and movement after a fresh shoulder or chest wall injury. It’s designed for certain types of rib, collarbone, or shoulder joint injuries when the injury happened very recently.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04574336Recruiting
Tested treatment timing for specific upper-arm bone fractures
This study looks at treating certain types of upper-arm (humerus) shaft fractures started within 14 days of injury. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery in the right kinds of fractures.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT04640727Enrolling by invitation
Surgery comparison for rotated elbow fractures in children
This trial compares two surgical methods for children with a specific type of rotated, fully shifted outer elbow fracture. It aims to find which approach works better for healing and restoring elbow function.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1–18 - NCT07538700Recruiting
Hip Graft vs. Plate Surgery for Upper Arm Bone Fractures
This study compares two surgical approaches for severe upper arm bone fractures near the shoulder in adults aged 40–70. Researchers want to see if adding a hip bone graft alongside a metal plate leads to better healing and shoulder function than using a plate alone.
HilversumAges 40–70 - NCT06605482Recruiting
Early Fixation for Upper Arm Fractures in Older Adults
This trial tests if early surgery helps older patients heal from a broken upper arm bone (the humerus). It may lead to better recovery and less pain.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - NCT07286734Recruiting
Ultrasound study of radial nerve in arm fracture with nerve injury
This study uses ultrasound and nerve tests to examine the radial nerve in people who have a broken upper arm bone (humeral shaft fracture) and also have radial nerve palsy (weakness or paralysis on the back of the hand/forearm). The goal is to better understand how the nerve is affected by the fracture.
Istanbul, KarsAges 18 years+ - NCT03328650Recruiting
Study of a specific shoulder plate for broken upper arms
This trial looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07558590Recruiting
Shoulder Replacement System Recovery and Function Study
This study follows patients who have received a new shoulder replacement device to see how well it works and how patients recover. Researchers will collect information about your shoulder function and satisfaction over time.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04003311Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for specific shoulder implant types and surgery
This study checks outcomes in people who already received certain Zimmer Biomet shoulder implant components using the correct surgical technique. It may help improve how these specific implants are used and monitored after surgery.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT05500066Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder implant study for people needing shoulder replacement
This trial studies a specific shoulder replacement implant system. It may help people with damaged shoulder joints by testing how well the implant works and how it affects recovery and function.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for humeral fractures?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting humeral 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 humeral 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 humeral 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.
