View clinical trials related to Humeral Fractures, Proximal.
Filter by:A commercially available product clinical study which aims to confirm the safety, performance and clinical benefits to the patient of the Affixus Natural Nail upper arm (humerus) bone nail system for both the implant itself and the instrumentation used during surgery.
The purpose of this study is to collect device and procedure experience in everyday clinical practice. The patients are being asked to participate in this study because they are a surgical candidate for the treatment of a broken shoulder and are considering treatment with the PH Cage device.
Patients with greater tuberosity fractures is becoming increasingly common, as is the number of cases of humeral surgical neck fractures. This study investigated the relationship between size of greater tuberosity fragment and occurrence of humeral surgical neck fractures by using CT or MRI tests.
The purpose of the project is to compare the management of 3 and 4 part proximal humerus fractures (PHF) with an angular stable plate (Philos) with that of an intramedullary nail (Multiloc) in light of complications, radiological, economical, functional and clinical outcome.
The purpose of this study is to investigate patient related factors that contribute to increased risk of recurrent fractures and to investigate patient adherence to prescribed anti-osteoporotic drugs.
The main objective of the study is to compare the clinical effects of the innovative telerehabilitation approach (TELE group) compared to face-to-face visits to a clinic (CLINIC group) for patients treated for a proximal humerus fracture.
The proposed project will be a multi-centre, prospective observational study to determine the prognosis and determinants of functional outcomes of patients with proximal humerus fractures. Approximately 10 centres will participate in this observational cohort, each enrolling at least 50 patients over the course of 2 years.
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.
