Comparing three fixation systems for elbow osteotomy surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares three different metal plate and screw systems used to hold the elbow bone in place after surgery for an elbow problem. If you need this type of elbow surgery, the study may help find which fixation method works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have an elbow condition that requires surgery where the surgeon cuts and repositions the bone at the tip of the elbow (olecranon).
- The surgeon determines that your bone can be fixed with any of the three systems being tested.
- You have not had surgery on that same elbow before.
- You do not have a current fracture of the ulna (the forearm bone on the little finger side).
- You have no active infection anywhere in your body when the elbow surgery happens.

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 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.
This study looks at a special plate and screw system to repair fractures of the lower end of the upper arm bone (near the elbow). It aims to see how well the surgery helps healing and recovery.
