Elbow Fracture
Radiation Therapy for Heterotopic Ossification Prophylaxis Acutely After Elbow Trauma
The investigators hypothesized that radiation therapy could be safely administered acutely after elbow trauma, and it would decrease the number of patients that would require surgical excision of heterotopic ossification.
- Trial name
- ElbowHO (NCT00991887)
- Testing
- Radiation Therapy (XRT)
- Volunteers
- 48 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Upper Extremity Fracture, Upper Extremity Dislocation
Progressive Splinting Status Post Elbow Fractures and Dislocations
The purpose of this study is to help determine if a static stretching brace in addition to physical therapy decreases the incidence of secondary operations, increases range of motion, and individual patient function.
