Tested treatment timing for specific upper-arm bone fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your fracture is in the upper-arm shaft (not only the very end), and fits specific patterns
- Your injury was treated within 14 days of the trauma
- Your age fits the study groups (18–64 for one group, 65+ for another)
- You can understand the study and read/speak Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian for paperwork
- Your fracture is not an open injury, not caused by weak bone, and not a displaced-free shaft fracture

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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.
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.
This trial tests a new way to fix certain broken hand bones (metacarpals) using a metal plate. It compares this method to other treatments to see which works better for healing and recovery.
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.
