Comparing two surgical approaches for pelvic fractures in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You have a specific type of pelvic fracture (sacral fracture with a break in the front of the pelvis).
- Your fracture was caused by a low-energy event, like a fall from standing, or happened without a clear cause.
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (no severe medical conditions).
- You do not have other major injuries or fractures.
- You have not had a previous pelvic fracture or surgery on the pelvic ring.

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 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 study compares a new robot-assisted surgery with standard non-surgical care for older adults who have a certain type of pelvic fracture from a fall. The goal is to see if the surgery helps people recover better and get back to their daily activities.
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 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 a new robotic-assisted surgery to the traditional surgery for older adults with a type of pelvic fracture caused by a simple fall. It aims to see if robotic surgery leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
