Anchor surgery for elbow fracture in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies a surgery using anchors to fix a broken bone in the elbow (the medial epicondyle) in children under 15. It aims to see how well this technique works for displaced fractures.

This trial looks at how to manage a specific, usually less severe elbow fracture in children ages 3–8. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat “Type 1” supracondylar fractures that are not displaced.
This trial compares two surgical methods for children with a specific type of rotated, fully shifted outer elbow fracture. It aims to find which approach works better for healing and restoring elbow function.
This trial is testing two ways of using small wires (K-wires) to hold a child's broken elbow bone in place after it's been set. The goal is to see which method keeps the bone correctly aligned as it heals.
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 tests a special screw that dissolves over time to fix broken bones in the ankle, knee, or elbow. It may help children and teens avoid a second surgery to remove metal screws.
