Identifying risk factors for non-healing clavicle fractures
Official title: Risk Factors for Development of Non-union of Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures: A Prospective Double-center Cohort Study
Run by Bispebjerg Hospital · NCT06652659 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to find out what factors make it harder for people with broken collarbones to heal properly, so doctors can better decide who might need surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been admitted to the emergency room with a displaced midshaft clavicle fracture.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with open fractures, pathological fractures, or those unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the risk factors associated with non-union in patients who have sustained displaced midshaft clavicle fractures. By examining both patient characteristics and specific fracture-related factors, the study aims to identify which individuals are at higher risk for complications that could lead to prolonged recovery and reduced shoulder function. The research is conducted at two hospitals in Denmark, focusing on patients who present to the emergency room with these types of fractures. The findings could help guide treatment decisions regarding the need for surgical intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify patients who would benefit most from surgery, potentially reducing the incidence of non-union and improving recovery outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of identifying risk factors for non-union in clavicle fractures is not widely tested, similar studies in other types of fractures have shown promise in improving patient outcomes.
