Treating displaced shoulder fractures: non-surgery vs surgery options
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your shoulder/upper arm fracture is a displaced two-part fracture (specific X-ray pattern)
- The injury is less than 3 weeks old
- You are able and willing to take part in the study
- You can speak/read Norwegian well enough to understand study instructions
- You are medically well enough to safely have surgery if you’re assigned to it

This study looks at people 65 or older who have broken the top part of their arm bone near the shoulder. It aims to learn more about how these fractures heal and affect daily life, which may help improve future care.
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.
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.
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.
This trial is testing different ways to treat a broken upper arm bone (proximal humerus fracture) in adults. It compares treatment options to see which works best for healing and recovery.
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.
