Comparing treatments for shoulder fractures in adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to treat a common type of shoulder fracture (proximal humerus fracture) in adults. The goal is to find out which treatment works best and helps patients recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult who broke the top part of your arm bone (near the shoulder) within the last week.

- Your BMI (body mass index) is less than 40.
- You have not had a previous fracture or surgery on the same shoulder.
- You can understand and follow instructions for rehabilitation.

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 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.
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 looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
This study looks at outcomes for people aged 65 and older who have a specific type of shoulder fracture. It aims to learn more about recovery and treatment options.
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.
