Robot-Assisted Surgery vs. Conservative Care for Elderly Pelvic Fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older
- Your pelvic fracture was caused by low-energy trauma (like a fall) within the last 3 weeks
- You have been diagnosed with osteoporosis
- You were able to walk independently or with help before your injury
- You do not have severe open wounds, skin infections, or severe psychiatric conditions
- You are not currently receiving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or long-term corticosteroid medications

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 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.
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to traditional surgery for treating moderate-to-severe pelvic fractures. If you've had a pelvic fracture recently, this study may help doctors understand which approach recovers better.
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
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.
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
