Pelvic fracture treatment study for older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to treat a specific type of pelvic fracture in adults 60 and older. It aims to find which treatment works best for healing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- Your pelvic injury happened from a simple fall or minor accident (not a high-impact crash).
- You have a specific type of pelvic fracture called an LC1 fracture, confirmed by X-ray or CT scan.
- The fracture is not severely out of place (less than 10 mm of displacement on CT).
- Your injury occurred within the last 21 days.

This trial compares a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgical approach to standard conservative (non-surgical) treatment for fragility fractures of the pelvis—breaks caused by weak bones from osteoporosis in older adults. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover mobility and quality of life better.
This study compares a newer robot-assisted surgical approach to standard surgery for treating certain pelvic fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis) in people over 60. The goal is to see if the robot-assisted method leads to better outcomes with less tissue damage.
This study looks at how pelvic ring injuries (breaks in the bones of your pelvis) are currently treated in hospitals. It does not test any new treatment—it just observes what happens to see if care can be improved.
This study tests whether patients can safely put weight on their leg earlier than usual after pelvic fracture surgery, and whether this helps them recover movement and function faster. Researchers will compare early partial weight-bearing to standard care.
This study tests a system to help prevent another broken bone after a hip, leg, or pelvis fracture. It is for people 65+ who are in a skilled nursing facility for rehab and plan to return home or to assisted living.
This study compares two surgical approaches for fixing a specific type of pelvic fracture in older adults. It aims to see if operating on both the front and back of the pelvis is better than just the back alone.
