Clinical Trial Summary

It was conducted a prospective study with a series of 63 patients treated with O.R.I.F. (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) (group A) and with RSA (Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty) (group B) for three and four-part proximal humeral fractures according to Neer classification system. One independent observer performed clinical and a psychological evaluation at one(T0), six(T1) and twelve months(T2) postoperatively.

The Constant's score and The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH score) were used for clinical evaluation, while General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Caregiver Strain Scale (CSS) were used for psychological evaluation.
