Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06113614Recruiting
Light Therapy After Shoulder Fracture Surgery
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) applied after surgery helps people recover better from a shoulder fracture. It is for adults aged 18–65 who have a specific type of humerus fracture that needs surgery with a plate and screws.
São PauloAges 18–65 - 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 - 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 - NCT07415889Recruiting
Psychological coaching after arm fracture surgery
This trial tests if structured psychological coaching helps people who are feeling emotionally vulnerable after surgery for a broken upper arm bone. It's for those who have a high tendency toward anxiety or stress (neuroticism) and had surgery within the last two weeks.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06658379Recruiting
Can a blood test tell if your broken bone will heal quickly?
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell in your blood to see if it can predict how well a broken bone heals. If you have a certain broken bone and are getting surgery to fix it, you may be able to help find new ways to improve recovery.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT06869343Recruiting
Early vs. Late Rehab After Shoulder Replacement for Fracture
This study compares starting shoulder rehab early (2 weeks after surgery) versus at the standard time after a reverse total shoulder replacement for a broken shoulder. It aims to see which approach helps you recover better.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 50–85 - 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+ - NCT05668182Recruiting
TRUMATCH graft cage for broken thigh/leg/arm bone gaps
This study looks at how well a specific metal implant (the TRUMATCH graft cage) works when there is a missing segment of a long bone in the arm, thigh, or shin. It may help stabilize the bone while doctors rebuild the defect with standard surgical care.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04106674Recruiting
Treating displaced shoulder fractures: non-surgery vs surgery options
This trial compares non-surgical care with two different surgical fixation methods for a displaced two-part shoulder (upper arm) fracture. It aims to see which approach leads to the best recovery and function.
Lørenskog, OsloAges 60–85 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT03759028RecruitingPhase 4
Study of pain relief after elbow fracture surgery
This trial looks at how well different pain medicines work after surgery for a specific type of broken elbow bone. It may help find a safer, more comfortable pain-control plan while the fracture heals.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4–12 - NCT07678034Recruiting

Anxiety study for kids getting arm pins removed
This study tests if a child life specialist can help reduce anxiety when children have pins removed from their arm after a fracture. If your child is between 3 and 10, had a specific arm fracture treated with pins at Boston Children's Hospital, and speaks English, they may be eligible.
