Clinical Investigation for Fractures of the Proximal Humerus in Elderly Patients. A Randomized Study of Two Surgical Treatments: Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Versus Angular Stable Device Philos
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.
