Closed Fracture Proximal Humerus, Four Part Clinical Trial

Official title: Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Versus Open Reduction Internal Fixation of 3 &Amp; 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures: A Randomized Prospective Study

Clinical Trial Summary

Will patients who suffer complex humerus fractures have better functional outcomes and less implant failure with shoulder replacement (reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, RTSA) compared to shoulder repair (open reduction and internal fixation, ORIF)?
