Surgery vs. early rehab for pelvic fractures in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for a specific type of pelvic fracture (LC1) in people 60 and older: surgery to fix the bone early, or non-surgical care with early rehabilitation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 60 years of age or older
- Had a low-energy injury, like a fall from standing height
- Have a specific type of pelvic fracture called LC1
- The fracture must be displaced less than 10 mm on a CT scan
- Injury occurred within the last 21 days
- Were able to walk without help before the injury

This study tests a special care plan for people with pelvic fractures caused by a minor fall (like from standing height). The goal is to see if the plan helps with recovery and early movement.
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 compares two surgical approaches for fixing a specific type of pelvic fracture in older adults. It aims to see if operating on both the front and back of the pelvis is better than just the back alone.
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.
This trial compares a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgical approach to standard conservative (non-surgical) treatment for fragility fractures of the pelvis—breaks caused by weak bones from osteoporosis in older adults. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover mobility and quality of life better.
This study tests the best order of steps during surgery to fix a severe pelvic fracture (Tile C1.2 or C1.3). It may help determine if stabilizing the back or the front of the pelvis first leads to better outcomes.
