The Utilization of Ultrasound to Diagnose Pediatric Elbow Fractures
NCT07212036 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this intervention trial is to learn if a ultrasound diagnosis of elbow fractures can improve care in pediatric patients seen in the emergency room. The main questions it aims to answer are: The primary outcomes measured are cost of the emergency visit, radiation exposure, time spent in the emergency department and patient satisfaction. Patients who are evaluated with ultrasounds of the elbow will be compared to patients who have x-rays of the elbow. Participants will be assigned either to the ultrasound group or x-rays group when they present with elbow pain.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07212036
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07212036 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 225 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Nemours Children's Clinic, which has 96 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 7 conditions, with Supracondylar Humerus Fracture appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Ultrasound of the elbow is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07212036 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
