Surgery comparison for rotated elbow fractures in children
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a lateral condyle elbow fracture that is fully shifted and rotated (Jakob Stage 3)
- The injury was treated within 7 days (not more than 7 days after the fracture)
- On X-ray, the elbow part (capitulum humerus) can be clearly seen
- This is the child’s first such lateral condyle fracture on that same arm
- The fracture is not an open fracture (no broken skin exposing bone) and not a pathological fracture
- No other fractures are present at the same time, and the fracture is not combined with other injuries

This study compares two ways to treat a specific type of broken elbow in children called a Gartland type II supracondylar humeral fracture. The goal is to see if using a cast alone works as well as surgery, which may help avoid an operation.
This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
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 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.
This study compares two surgical techniques to fix a specific type of elbow fracture. The goal is to see which technique helps patients recover better after surgery.
This trial studies a surgery using anchors to fix a broken bone in the elbow (the medial epicondyle) in children under 15. It aims to see how well this technique works for displaced fractures.
