Study on shoulder fracture with tendon injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment for a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity fracture) that is displaced (bone pieces have moved apart) and also involves a rotator cuff tear (a tendon injury in the shoulder). The goal is to see if repairing both injuries together helps patients recover better. If you have this type of recent shoulder injury and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 76 years old
- You have a greater tuberosity fracture (a break in the shoulder bone) that is displaced (bone fragments have shifted at least 1 mm) along with a rotator cuff tear (a tendon injury)
- The injury happened no more than 72 hours ago (within 3 days)
- You have no serious heart, liver, kidney, or other major health problems
- You can cooperate with follow-up for 12 months after treatment

This study compares the results of surgery versus non-surgical care for people who have a single fracture of the greater tuberosity of the shoulder (a specific bump on the upper arm bone). It helps doctors understand which approach leads to better arm and shoulder function after healing.
This trial tests a keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. It may help if you have a full-thickness tear and haven't had shoulder surgery or major injury before.
This trial compares two different ways to repair a large, repairable rotator cuff (shoulder tendon) tear. It may help you understand which surgical approach leads to better recovery after non-surgical treatments have already failed.
This trial studies a specific surgical approach to repair medium to large rotator cuff tears (a common shoulder injury) using minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery combined with biceps tendon repair. It aims to evaluate outcomes in patients who are good candidates for this type of surgery.
This trial is for people with a large, torn rotator cuff that cannot be repaired with standard techniques. It compares two surgical options: transferring a nearby muscle (lower trapezius tendon transfer) or doing a partial repair of the torn cuff. The goal is to see which one works better for pain and movement.
This study is testing a new surgical technique for repairing a torn rotator cuff while also addressing the biceps tendon. It aims to see if adding this biceps procedure improves recovery and outcomes for people with full-thickness tears.
