ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at fractures that happen around implants or prosthetic joints in the upper and lower limbs, such as the shoulder, hip, and knee. These types of fractures can be complicated to treat and may lead to further health issues. The study, which is collecting data from over 70 hospitals in Spain, aims to find the best treatment options for each patient. By understanding how these fractures affect patients, doctors can improve care, reduce complications, and ultimately help patients recover better and faster.

To participate in this study, patients need to be at least 18 years old and have a diagnosed fracture around a prosthetic joint or implant in specific areas like the shoulder or hip. However, the study will not include patients with certain types of fractures, such as those related to cancer or during surgery. Participants can expect to contribute to important research that may lead to better treatment for others in the future, while also receiving care from experienced trauma surgeons and geriatricians.
