Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07678034Recruiting
Long-term safety study of Tipmed shoulder replacement system
This study checks how safe and effective the Tipmed shoulder replacement system is over time. It is for people who already had this specific shoulder implant during surgery.
BalıkesirAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05624164Recruiting
Microfracture surgery to help rotator cuff tears heal
This trial studies a specific surgical technique (microfracture) to help the rotator cuff heal after repair. You might be eligible if you have a rotator cuff tear of a certain size on MRI and have not improved with non-surgical treatments.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–65 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for proximal humerus fracture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting proximal humerus fracture 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 proximal humerus fracture 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 proximal humerus fracture 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.
