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 study looks at how older adults recover after breaking their pelvis in a fall or without clear cause. It tests whether standard care helps them get back to their usual activities, which might help you know what to expect after a pelvic break.
This study compares a new robot-assisted surgery with standard non-surgical care for older adults who have a certain type of pelvic fracture from a fall. The goal is to see if the surgery helps people recover better and get back to their daily activities.
This study compares a new robotic-assisted surgery to the traditional surgery for older adults with a type of pelvic fracture caused by a simple fall. It aims to see if robotic surgery leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This study looks at how people with pelvic ring injuries (breaks in the bones that form the ring-shaped pelvis) are cared for and how well they recover. If you have this type of injury, joining could help doctors learn more and maybe improve future care.
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.
