Treatment for broken elbow bone with new plate system
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new plate-and-screw system to fix broken elbow bones (distal humerus fractures). The surgery aims to hold the bone in place so it can heal properly and help you regain arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a broken elbow bone that needs surgery and can be treated with plates and screws.
- The break needs both inner and outer plates (minimum), and you may have additional plates if needed.
- You can understand instructions and are willing to attend follow-up visits for the study.
- You sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

This trial compares two operations—partial elbow replacement versus a hardware repair—for certain types of distal humeral (lower upper-arm) fractures. It may help find which approach leads to better healing and arm function after injury.
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 tests three different methods (implants) to fix the elbow bone after it is cut during surgery. It aims to find which one works best for healing and recovery.
This study compares two ways to treat a certain type of broken elbow in adults over 65 who are not extremely active or frail. It tests if using a metal plate to fix the bone during surgery leads to better arm function and recovery than treating the injury without surgery.
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.
