Strength therapy after elbow fractures in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how to improve strength after a specific elbow bone fracture in people age 65 and older. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part in follow-up assessments to see whether the approach helps recovery and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be able to walk, with or without a walking aid

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 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 study compares two ways to treat a certain type of broken elbow in adults over 65 who are not extremely active or frail. It tests if using a metal plate to fix the bone during surgery leads to better arm function and recovery than treating the injury without surgery.
This study focuses on displaced elbow (olecranon) fractures in older adults. It aims to compare how treatment timing and fracture type affect healing and recovery.
This study compares two hands-on physical therapy methods—one called Mulligan mobilization alone, and another that combines it with myofascial release (gentle tissue massage)—to help restore movement and reduce pain in elbows that became stiff after a fracture healed. You would participate if your elbow is still limited 3–6 weeks after your cast was removed.
This study looks at how to treat a displaced fracture at the tip of the elbow bone (olecranon) in older adults. The goal is to find the best way to heal the fracture while keeping elbow function as good as possible.
