Hip Graft vs. Plate Surgery for Upper Arm Bone Fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical approaches for severe upper arm bone fractures near the shoulder in adults aged 40–70. Researchers want to see if adding a hip bone graft alongside a metal plate leads to better healing and shoulder function than using a plate alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- Your fracture occurred within the last 3 weeks (not healed yet)
- Your fracture involves the upper part of your upper arm bone with significant breaks (3 or 4 pieces)
- You speak and understand Dutch fluently
- You have not had previous surgery or fractures on the same shoulder
- You are able to understand the study and provide written permission to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing a break in the middle of the upper arm bone. It aims to find which approach leads to better healing and recovery for patients.
This trial compares non-surgical care with two different surgical fixation methods for a displaced two-part shoulder (upper arm) fracture. It aims to see which approach leads to the best recovery and function.
This trial tests a new type of metal plate designed to fix a broken hip (femoral neck fracture) with sliding compression. The goal is to see if this plate helps the bone heal better and faster.
This trial compares surgery versus non-surgical treatment for a broken shoulder bone (proximal humerus) in adults aged 50 to 65. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery and function.
This trial tests if early surgery helps older patients heal from a broken upper arm bone (the humerus). It may lead to better recovery and less pain.
