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.
Who can take part
- You have a broken upper arm bone (humerus) in the middle section, not near the shoulder or elbow
- You can walk with or without a walker or cane
- You do not have a condition that affects your thinking or memory, like dementia
- You can give consent and follow up with the study team
- Your BMI is under 40

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 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 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 study compares two surgical approaches for severe upper arm bone fractures near the shoulder in adults aged 40–70. Researchers want to see if adding a hip bone graft alongside a metal plate leads to better healing and shoulder function than using a plate alone.
