Surgery comparison for unstable pelvic and hip socket fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how to best surgically fix unstable pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures, comparing different operative approaches. You might benefit if your goal is stable healing with a less invasive internal fixation method, but the study requires specific fracture types and long follow-up time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older and willing to sign informed consent
- Have a traumatic pelvic or hip socket (acetabular) fracture that matches the AO/OTA 2018 classification
- Have planned or available follow-up information for at least 48 months after surgery
- Your fracture must not be from disease (pathological) and must be traumatic, not non-traumatic
- Your medical record must have complete follow-up details
- You must have chosen/received surgical treatment (not refused surgery)
- Your treatment plan must not include external fixation

This study compares two ways to fix a specific type of hip socket fracture (posterior wall fracture) using a rim plate or a buttress plate, with or without extra screws. It aims to find the best approach for healing.
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing unstable fractures of the sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine). It aims to see if a less invasive approach works as well as traditional open surgery, potentially leading to faster recovery and fewer complications.
This study compares two surgical methods for treating pelvic fractures in older adults caused by low-energy events like falls. It aims to see if one approach leads to better recovery, helping guide future treatment decisions.
This study compares different ways to treat a specific type of pelvic fracture in adults 60 and older. It aims to find which treatment works best for healing and recovery.
This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
