Treating blood vessel problems in kids' elbow fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests management of blood vessel injuries (vascular complications) that can occur with a certain type of elbow fracture in children. It may help doctors decide the best way to treat these injuries to save the arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child under 15 years old
- You have a supracondylar humerus fracture (a specific elbow break)
- You are seen within 48 hours of the injury
- You have not had any past blood vessel surgery on that arm
- You do not have another broken bone in the same arm

This study uses ultrasound, a sound-wave imaging tool, to diagnose elbow fractures in children. It aims to see if ultrasound works as well as X-rays, so your child might avoid radiation.
This trial checks if a simple bedside ultrasound can safely rule out fractures in children and teens who hurt their elbow. It aims to reduce unnecessary X-rays and stress for young patients and their families.
This trial looks at how well different pain medicines work after surgery for a specific type of broken elbow bone. It may help find a safer, more comfortable pain-control plan while the fracture heals.
This trial is looking at ways to treat blood vessel injuries in children caused by accidents or trauma. If your child has a vascular injury from an accident, this study may help find the best treatment.
This study compares different ways to fix broken forearm bones in adolescents aged 10 to 16. It may help if your child has a fracture that needs surgery because the bones are too angled or shifted.
This study compares two treatment approaches—non-surgical (cast and monitoring) versus surgical (pins or screws)—for a specific type of elbow fracture (Gartland type II supracondylar fracture) in children ages 1–12. The goal is to determine which method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
