Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of shoulder replacement surgery in realization a computer assisted 3D planning compared to conventional 2D planning.
The hypothesis of this study is to determine whether the technique of intramedullary locking nail presents clinical results comparable to the technique of locking plates, based on the Constant Score.
This study examines the microcirculation of the caput humeri after proximal humeral fracturation using O2C light probes. During the operation the blood circulation is measured at four points (tuberculum majus, tuberculum minus, neck and head of the humerus) directly on the bone. The O2C light probes are a none-invasive technique of measuring blood flow, velocity and oxygen concentration. The data is analysed in respect to the fracture type according to the classification of Neer. Valuable additional information for the correct treatment and prognosis of humeral fractures is expected.
To investigate the assumption that reversed shoulder prosthetic replacement will give a better functional outcome compared to open reduction and internal fixation with an angular stable plate in displaced proximal humeral fractures. Short name: The DelPhi trial.
Hypothesis: The investigators want to study whether parathyroid hormone improves healing of humerus after a fracture. The investigators will assess healing of the humerus with Constant score.
The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Humeral Stem when used in primary, total or hemi shoulder arthroplasty.
The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System when used in primary or revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
This trial is designed to compare head-to-head conservative with operative treatment in 2 stratum. Stratum 1: In 2 part fractures the comparison is between conservative treatment and operative treatment with plate fixation with Philos. Stratum 2: In multi-fragmented fractures (MFF) meaning 3 and 4 part fractures, the comparison is between conservative treatment, operative treatment with Philos plate and operative treatment with Epoca prosthesis. Subgroup analysis will be performed in an effort to obtain limit values for specific treatment of different age and fracture groups. A cost-effectiveness analysis and comparison between different treatment modalities will be carried out. The primary outcome measure will be the DASH score and the secondary outcome measure the EQ-5D value. Recruitment period is 3 years and follow-up 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if poor bone quality increases the risk of specific types of treatment complications in patients with proximal humerus fractures treated with open reduction and angle-stable plates (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System - PHILOS).
40 postmenopausal women, with a non-operated proximal humeral fracture, will be randomized to standard treatment (physiotherapy) or standard treatment + Forsteo (rhPTH 1-34) during 4 weeks. Follow-up will be at 7 weeks and 3 months including x-ray and DASH score (The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) measuring physical function, and pain on a visual analoge scale (VAS). Two doctors, blinded to the treatment, will judge the callus formation and healing on the x-rays and guess the treatment. The DASH score and the pain score will be compared between the treatment groups. The investigators hypotheses are that callus formation and healing will be more pronounced and that patients have less pain and better function in the rhPTH 1-34 group.
