Filter by:The optimal treatment of complex shoulder fracture is controversial. In general, non-surgical treatment is recommended for older patients, but results are often unsatisfying. Therefore different surgical approaches have been tried to improve outcomes for this group of patients. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has shown promising results for these types of fractures and changes in the design of the implant might improve outcomes further. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of complex shoulder fractures after non-surgical versus surgical treatment and compare two different types of implants.
This is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the T.E.S.S.® Version 3 Anatomic and Reverse Modular Total shoulder prosthesis and its instrumentation.
This is a one centered retrospective study. Tendency for surgical interventions in the pre-pandemic period was reduced to protect surgical team and patients. The investigators aimed to find out the answer to the following question: will conservative treatment be the shining star in the post pandemic period?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate preoperative objective measurements of patients with a proximal humerus fracture and operative objective measurements to determine if there is any effect to postoperative outcomes. Patients who were 18 years old or greater at the time of open reduction, internal fixation surgery were followed clinically and radiographically to determine best practice and optimal treatment and technique, risk and rate of complication, and postoperative outcomes.

The Nordic DeltaCon Trial is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized, controlled, multi-center and multi-national trial comparing reverse prosthesis and non-operative treatment in displaced proximal humerus fractures, in the elderly patients aged 65 to 85 years with displaced OTA/AO group B2 or C2 fractures (According to the new 2018 revision: AO/OTA (Orthopaedic Trauma Association) group 11-B1.1, 11-B1.2 and 11-C1.1, 11-C3.1. )
This study aims to investigate the shoulder function of patients with osteoarthritis or a fracture of the upper extremity after surgery with the Global Unite shoulder system. The majority of fractures of the humerus are non-surgically treated, but for the complex cases where the fracture is irreparable (1), the treatment choice is a shoulder prosthesis called a hemiarthroplasty. Hemiarthroplasty has been associated to less pain and more quality of life , (2,3) but no difference in range of motion is reported when compared to non-surgically treatment of complex humeral fractures. (2,3,4) One of the important steps in surgery of a fractured humerus is the fixation of the bone fragments in an anatomically correct position as previous studies have shown that complications related to the fixation and healing of bone fragments occurred in 11 % of patients treated with a hemiarthroplasty . The Global Unite hemiarthroplasty introduces a new feature, which allows the surgeon to more closely attach the bone fragments. Patients with osteoarthritis and fractures of the humerus will be included from two hospitals, Herlev and Køge University Hospital. A total of 88 patients, 44 osteoarthritis and 44 fracture patients, are included. The patients will be followed two years after surgery and will be seen a total of four times postoperatively, where the function of the shoulder will be examined by questionnaires concerning shoulder function and quality of life, by a motion examination and by x-ray. The outcome of these examinations will be compared to the functional outcome of patients that have received different shoulder prostheses for the same diagnoses at Herlev and Køge University Hospital. The patients will undergo two radiographic scans after surgery, to determine whether or not bone fragments remain in an anatomically correct position in the patients with a fracture of the proximal humerus. A special focus will be on the function of the shoulder in patients with bone fragments that are not in an anatomically correct position. Furthermore, complications and the need of reoperation were registered during the two-year follow-up period. The aims of this study is to - Determine the function of the shoulder in patients receiving the Global Unite prosthesis due to either osteoarthritis or fracture of the humerus. - To compare these results with results from patients previously treated with a different prosthesis designs - To determine the influence of the fixation of bone fragments in the postoperative function in fracture patients.
