Early Fixation for Upper Arm Fractures in Older Adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if early surgery helps older patients heal from a broken upper arm bone (the humerus). It may lead to better recovery and less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how to improve strength after a specific elbow bone fracture in people age 65 and older. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part in follow-up assessments to see whether the approach helps recovery and function.
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.
This study looks at treating certain types of upper-arm (humerus) shaft fractures started within 14 days of injury. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery in the right kinds of fractures.
This trial is testing different ways to treat a broken upper arm bone (proximal humerus fracture) in adults. It compares treatment options to see which works best for healing and recovery.
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 looks at people 65 or older who have broken the top part of their arm bone near the shoulder. It aims to learn more about how these fractures heal and affect daily life, which may help improve future care.
