EASY Algorithm: Bedside ultrasound to screen children aged 5 to 15 for elbow fractures
This project will test whether a quick bedside ultrasound can reliably show or rule out elbow fractures in children aged 5 to 15 after an injury.
-
Fixing a broken elbow with a metal plate versus non-surgical care in older adults
This test sees if using a metal plate to fix a displaced olecranon fracture helps older adults with low arm demands recover better and regain arm function than non-surgical treatment.
-
Comparing two surgical methods for treating olecranon fractures
This study is testing which surgical method, cerclage fixation or tension band wiring, works better for treating certain types of elbow fractures in adults to see if it leads to fewer complications and re-operations.
-
Comparing surgical and conservative treatments for olecranon fractures in elderly patients
This study is trying to see if two types of surgery for elbow fractures work just as well as non-surgical treatment for people aged 75 and older.
