Comparing three ways to fix a cut in the elbow bone during surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests three different methods (implants) to fix the elbow bone after it is cut during surgery. It aims to find which one works best for healing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have an elbow problem that needs surgery involving a cut of the elbow bone.
- The cut in the elbow bone can be fixed with one of the three methods being studied.
- You understand the study and can attend routine hospital visits.
- You have not had surgery on the same elbow before.
- You do not have a broken forearm bone (ulna) or an active infection anywhere at the time of surgery.

This study compares two ways to treat a certain type of broken elbow in adults over 65 who are not extremely active or frail. It tests if using a metal plate to fix the bone during surgery leads to better arm function and recovery than treating the injury without surgery.
This study focuses on displaced elbow (olecranon) fractures in older adults. It aims to compare how treatment timing and fracture type affect healing and recovery.
This trial studies whether using small metal K-wires during surgery for certain elbow (olecranon) fractures improves outcomes compared with not using them. You may be eligible if your injury matches the trial’s fracture type and surgery timing, and you can attend follow-up visits and answer questionnaires.
This study looks at how to treat a displaced fracture at the tip of the elbow bone (olecranon) in older adults. The goal is to find the best way to heal the fracture while keeping elbow function as good as possible.
This trial compares two operations—partial elbow replacement versus a hardware repair—for certain types of distal humeral (lower upper-arm) fractures. It may help find which approach leads to better healing and arm function after injury.
This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
