Fluoroscopic Endobutton Procedure for Collarbone Injuries
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a surgical technique called fluoroscopic endobutton repair for outer collarbone fractures or severe acromioclavicular joint dislocations. It aims to see if using a special X-ray during surgery helps improve how the bone heals or the joint is stabilized.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a break in the outer third of your collarbone or a severe separation of the collarbone from the shoulder blade (Rockwood types III, IV, or V) confirmed by an X-ray or similar scan.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are willing to take part in this study after your surgeon explains it to you.
- You do not have an active infection.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests different treatments for a specific type of broken collar bone (the outer end, near the shoulder) where the bone pieces are out of place. If you have this type of fracture, the study aims to find the best way to help it heal.
This trial compares two surgical plate methods to fix a broken collarbone in the middle part (midshaft). The goal is to see which method works better for healing and function after an acute, fully displaced fracture.
This study tests a digital follow-up program for people who had surgery for a wrist or collarbone fracture. It uses a smartphone app to check your recovery, so you may need fewer in-person visits.
This study follows people who have an AC joint dislocation to see how well an implant (the Infinity-Lock button system) stabilizes the joint over time. It may help confirm the device is safe and effective for patients needing stabilization.
This study looks at why some broken collarbones in the middle section don't heal well. It follows patients treated at two hospitals to find patterns that might help prevent future healing problems.
This trial compares two surgical methods for a type of shoulder injury called acromioclavicular joint disruption. It aims to see if using a small camera (arthroscopy) leads to better recovery than open surgery.
