Clinical Trial Summary

A commercially available product clinical study which aims to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits to the patient of the ALPS Clavicle Plating system for both the implant itself and the instrumentation used during surgery.

Description:

The objectives of this observational, prospective study with optional retrospective enrollment are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the A.L.P.S Clavicle Plating System and its instrumentation by analysis of fracture healing, functional outcome and adverse events.

The safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events including re-operations. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified.

The performance will be evaluated by assessment of fracture/osteotomy healing and functional outcome of all enrolled study subjects.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of subjects with fracture healing	Number of subjects with fracture healing will be assessed through 12 months follow-up. Radiologic fracture healing is defined as: Bridging callus or no visible fracture lines on AP and 15-45° cephalic oblique radiographs.	12 months
Secondary	Frequency and Incidence of Adverse Events (Safety)	Monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse device effects, serious adverse device effects, and unanticipated serious adverse device effects as well as device deficiencies.	12 months
Secondary	Range of Motion - Total shoulder motion	Range of Motion (affected and contralateral), Forward elevation (maximum arm-trunk angle), External rotation (arm comfortably at side), External rotation (arm at 90 degrees of abduction), Internal rotation (thumb to back) spinous process, Cross-body adduction (antecubital fossa to opposite acromion (cm)	12 months
Secondary	Clinical efficacy of the device is assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score at 12 months follow-up	The ASES scale is 0-100. 100 is the highest score and indicates the greatest function while 0 is the lowest score.	12 months
Secondary	Euroqol Patient Quality of life measured at 12 months follow-up (EQ-5D-5L)	The EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) is a five dimensional self-assessment that is comprised of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. These five dimensions can be used to index a subject's health utility on a scale of 0 to 1, where 0 is death and 1 is perfect health. The scoring rule for EQ-5D permits scores less than 0, implying that some health states may be worse than death.	12 months
