A feasibility study to assess the practicality, and obtain preliminary data to inform, a definitive Randomise Control Trial (RCT) in patients over the age of 65 diagnosed with un-reconstructible distal humeral fractures, to determine if there are differences in functional outcomes between those undergoing a hemiarthroplasty and a total elbow arthroplasty? Over an 18 month recruitment period the investigators will assess recruitment rates and participants willingness to be randomised to one of two routine clinical treatments. During a 1 year routine clinical follow up period (at 3 time points), routinely collected orthopaedic outcome data will be recorded and differences between groups explored.
Proximal humerus fracture patient's upper limb complete function restoration mainly depends on patient rehabilitation exercises. One time teaching in clinic is usually not sufficient for patients to learn their rehabilitation exercises. This leads to delayed patient recovery and dis-satisfaction to treatment provided by health care providers. Our aim is that mobile health technology might facilitate patient to easily access health related teaching information other than routine care to support patient in their self-health care management thus leading to proximal humerus fracture patient treatment outcome improvement. Hypothesis: Mobile health technology positively improves clinical and functional outcomes of proximal humerus fracture using validated outcome scoring scales. Objectives: Primary objective: 1. To improve adult proximal humerus fracture patient's clinical and functional outcomes using validated outcome scoring scales resulting in timely recovery with the help of patient self-health care capacity using mobile health app. 2. To compare patient clinical and functional outcomes by validated scoring scales between using mobile health app versus standard care. Secondary Objective: To increase patient and doctor satisfaction rate in perspective with treatment provision usefully by digital technology application. Methods: Study design: Patient-centered, open labelled, parallel (1:1), pilot randomized controlled trial. Total 60 subjects required with 30 in each arm in 24-month duration. Study procedures: 1. Proximal humerus rehabilitation exercises video will be prepared after obtaining written informed consent from designated orthopaedic residents/surgeon. 2. Patients of 18 to 58 years of age with trauma associated proximal humerus fractures, who or their attendants are willing to participate. Patients who requires special care, patient not willing to exercise at home without physiotherapist support or participate in survey questionnaire and patients who does not have facility of classic blue tooth connectivity will be excluded. 3. Written informed consent will be administered the study subjects as per GCP guideline. 4. Each eligible patient will be randomized into intervention or control group. 1. Intervention group: Classic Blue tooth technology will be utilized for interoperable solution of teaching video information sharing from doctor to patient. The end users will be enrolled trauma associated proximal humerus fracture patients whether treated surgically or conservatively. 2. Control group: Routine care will be provided to control group and as per routine. 5. The patient will be followed at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months. Data will be collected on Case report form by assigned person. Clinical and functional outcomes will be assessed by assigned person using Quick DASH and Oxford shoulder score. 6. Researchers will be trained on data collection form prior to data collection. In case of lost to follow-up, patients will be contacted by telephone. 7. Patient satisfaction questionnaire: Administered to intervention group only about impact of digital technology application on their health improvement and care outcomes. 8. Doctor satisfaction questionnaire: To assess treating surgeon satisfaction rate for digital technology application impact on intervention group patients' care and outcomes. 9. The research study does not seem to have any potential health hazard. As per Food and Drug Administration and GCP recommendations for Serious/Adverse event (SAE/AE), any patient who experience SAE/AE, will receive good clinical care at earliest and all relevant reporting bodies will be notified. 10. Data management will be carried out at the Department of Surgery. Subject data confidentiality will be maintained. After study completion, data will be archived and retained for maximum years. Statistical Consideration: Quantitative variables will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and qualitative variables as frequencies (percentages). The efficacy on the basis of clinical and functional outcome and the AEs/SAEs will be assessed by intention to treat analysis. For group comparisons of clinical and functional categorical outcomes, chi-square test or Fisher Exact will be applied. p-values of less than 0.05 will be considered as statistically significant with a confidence interval of 95%. Patient and doctor satisfaction scores will be analyzed using regression analysis. For Assessment of outcomes, repeated measure ANOVA and generalized estimating equation will be used. Multiple regression will be used to assess the association between multiple covariates.
The objective of this study is to evaluated the efficacy and safety of the reverse total shoulder prosthesis (RTSA) for complex proximal humerus fractures. The clinical results of RTSA will be compared to clinical results from a historical cohort, that received a hemiarthroplasty of the shoulder.
To explore clinical effectiveness of PHILOS plate fixation and hemi-shoulder arthroplasty in treating three or four-part fractures of proximal humerus
Conservative Treatment Versus Operative Plate Fixation for Acute, Displaced Fractures of the Distal Clavicle
Statistical analysis for adult patients who were admitted to Assiut university hospital within one year with proximal femoral fractures. Protocol of management include lines of treatment , hospital stay and results
This study will compare the effect of manipulated vs. non-manipulated feedback during the rehabilitation of individuals with disability due to stiff shoulder following multiple trauma. This will be accomplished using the state-of-the-art real-time motion capture technology.
Combining interscalene block with infraclavicular block for humerus surgery provides a unique surgical anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia.
Fractures of the proximal humerus and the humeral head are most common injuries and the management is challenging. Functional therapy with short immobilization, followed by an accelerated physiotherapy protocol, is a simple, convenient, noninvasive, and efficient management option. This prospective randomized study is aim to assess the function of the upper extremity of patients who will be assigned to nonoperative treatment of a proximal humeral fracture. The primary objective is the Constant score. Secondary objectives are the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) instrument, measurement of shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain and depression level with Beck Depression Scale.
