Surgery vs. nonsurgical care for isolated shoulder fracture
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares the results of surgery versus non-surgical care for people who have a single fracture of the greater tuberosity of the shoulder (a specific bump on the upper arm bone). It helps doctors understand which approach leads to better arm and shoulder function after healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fracture of the greater tuberosity (a bony bump on your upper arm) from a traumatic injury, such as a fall.
- You do not have any other breaks in your upper arm bone (proximal humerus).
- You have not had any previous shoulder problems or surgeries.

This trial tests a treatment for a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity fracture) that is displaced (bone pieces have moved apart) and also involves a rotator cuff tear (a tendon injury in the shoulder). The goal is to see if repairing both injuries together helps patients recover better. If you have this type of recent shoulder injury and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
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 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 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 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.
This trial compares two types of surgery—plates and screws versus hip replacement—for a specific type of hip fracture that is not shifted out of place. The goal is to see which option helps people recover better.
