Robotic vs traditional surgery for pelvic fractures in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 60 years of age or older.
- Your pelvic injury must be from a low-energy event like a simple fall.
- You need a diagnosis of osteoporosis (brittle bones).
- You must have a specific type of pelvic fracture (called FFP type 3 or 4) that happened within the last 3 weeks.
- You must be able to give informed consent and not have severe infections, unstable health, or certain treatments that would make surgery unsafe.

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 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 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 trial compares robot-assisted surgery with traditional surgery for treating severe pelvic fractures. It aims to see which method is better for recovery and outcomes.
This study compares two surgical methods for treating pelvic fractures in older adults caused by low-energy events like falls. It aims to see if one approach leads to better recovery, helping guide future treatment decisions.
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.
