Humerus fracture

This study will follow 40 people who receive a shoulder replacement using the HUMELOCK II stem, either for a broken shoulder or to replace an old implant. Researchers will track how long the implant lasts, how well the shoulder moves, and any problems over 10 years. The goal is t…

This study tests whether a new shelf-stable blood product (IFC) works faster than the standard cryoprecipitate to stop severe bleeding in trauma patients. About 320 adults with traumatic injuries and low fibrinogen levels will be enrolled. The goal is to see if IFC can be given m…

This trial tests a new type of nail made from magnesium and titanium to fix broken leg or arm bones. The nail is designed to provide strong support while part of it gradually dissolves over time. Researchers will compare it to standard metal nails in 160 adults to see if it is ju…

This study compares two ways to treat a common elbow fracture in children (Gartland type II). Half the children will get a cast after the bone is set, and the other half will have surgery with pins. Researchers will measure how well the arm works, how much it can move, and pain l…

This study looks at whether applying a patient's own skin cells (called a basal cell suspension) to surgical wounds can help them heal faster and with less scarring. Researchers will compare 500 people who get this extra treatment with 500 who get standard surgery alone. The goal…

This study is testing whether adding a cold atmospheric plasma device to standard wound care helps different types of wounds heal better. The device uses low-temperature plasma to kill bacteria and promote healing. Researchers will compare 500 patients who get plasma therapy plus…

This study looks at three ways to treat a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity fracture) that also involves a rotator cuff injury. The three options are: non-surgical care, surgery right away, or surgery after a delay. The goal is to see which approach leads to …

This study tests whether adding a patient's own fat tissue under a standard skin graft can improve healing and reduce scarring after severe burns or traumatic wounds. About 68 adults with deep skin loss will receive either the new fat-plus-skin graft or a traditional skin graft a…

This study tests whether an AI software called RBfracture helps clinicians better identify fractures, dislocations, and joint fluid buildup on X-rays. Sixteen doctors will review X-rays from 415 adult patients with and without the AI's help. The goal is to see if the AI improves …

This study tests whether a higher dose of the blood thinner enoxaparin can better prevent dangerous blood clots in the legs or lungs of severely injured patients. About 540 adults in intensive care after trauma will receive either the standard or a double dose. The goal is to see…

This study tests a new combination of nerve blocks for elderly patients (65 and older) having surgery for a broken shoulder. The goal is to see if the new approach provides better pain relief during surgery and lowers the risk of temporary diaphragm paralysis, which can cause bre…

This study tests whether listening to music with binaural beats (a type of sound that may influence brain activity) can help professional athletes who are afraid of getting hurt again after a musculoskeletal injury. Sixty-six athletes will listen to either binaural beat music, a …

This study looks at whether giving trauma patients personalized information and a voluntary digital follow-up visit (instead of only standard care) helps them have less disability, return to work more often, and feel better overall. About 256 adults admitted to a Norwegian trauma…

This pilot study tests whether a mobile health app with step-by-step exercise videos can help people recover better after a proximal humerus (shoulder) fracture. Sixty adults with this injury will be split into two groups: one gets standard care, the other gets standard care plus…

This trial tests a software device called AI-TRiPS that uses real-time data from ambulances to predict the risk of death, bleeding, kidney injury, and need for blood transfusion in trauma patients. The tool displays these predictions to hospital trauma teams before the patient ar…

This study will train over 1,800 lay first responders—like taxi drivers and shopkeepers—in Cameroon to provide basic first aid and safe transport for injured people. Researchers will compare survival rates before and after the training program. The goal is to see if a data-driven…

This study will test a new program designed to help people who have been hospitalized for a physical injury. The program connects survivors with resources to meet their medical and social needs. Researchers will interview 25 participants and track which resources they use to see …

This study will watch 50 children under 15 with a specific elbow fracture to see how often blood vessel injuries happen and what factors make them more likely. Researchers will also look at how different treatments work. The goal is to better understand and manage these complicat…

This observational study will use a non-invasive brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence to detect and record brain activity in terminally ill patients immediately after clinical death. Researchers aim to capture organized neurocognitive signals, such as gamma waves,…

This study looks at 400 severely injured patients treated by emergency medical teams in the Paris region. It aims to see if the time spent on scene before going to the hospital affects whether patients survive the first 24 hours. The goal is to find ways to improve emergency care…

This study will analyze data from a pediatric trauma registry to understand injury patterns, outcomes, and what factors predict how severe an injury is. Researchers will look at records of 40 children under 18 who came to the hospital with a traumatic injury. The goal is to learn…

This study tests whether giving metoclopramide alone or with dexamethasone can speed up stomach emptying in trauma patients needing emergency surgery. Using bedside ultrasound, researchers will measure stomach contents to see which drug works better. The goal is to reduce the ris…

This observational study will follow 100 medically fragile adults with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or certain fractures. The goal is to see if remote check-ins via video calls can reliably spot declines in mobility and thinking, compared to in…

This study tests a new peer support program for adults recovering from serious injuries like car crashes, burns, or amputations. The program pairs survivors with trained peers who have been through similar experiences, offering support from hospital to home. The goal is to see if…

This study will follow 100 adults aged 65 and older who have a broken shoulder (proximal humerus fracture). Some will receive surgery (plates, screws, or a shoulder replacement) and others will be treated without surgery. Researchers will measure shoulder movement, pain, and dail…

This study will look back at the medical records of about 2000 older adults (60+) who had surgery for a broken bone in Shanghai between 2010 and 2019. Researchers want to see how factors like age, nutrition, and which bone broke affect the risk of dying within 1, 3, or 5 years af…
