We humans do a poor job when classifying the injury related to a patient sustaining a proximal humeral fracture. In consequence, there is great heterogeneity in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. Moreover, offering relevant information to patients regarding the risk of complications or fracture sequelae is challenging, given that the current series are based on obsolete classifications, and the published series bring together just over hundreds of patients analyzed. With these limitations, patients have few opportunities to participate in decision-making about their injury. The present project aim is to integrate new technologies for the prediction of relevant clinical results for the patients presenting a proximal humeral fracture. In brief, AI can help identify similar fracture patterns without human inference, while humans can feed the algorithm with variables of interest such as the functional outcomes and complications related to this particular type of fracture.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether surgery results in better functional outcomes than non-surgical treatment among patients aged 50-65 with a displaced proximal humerus fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does osteosynthesis result in better patient-reported functional outcomes compared to non-surgical treatment at 12 months follow-up? Aim is also to characterize the patient group aged 50-65 regarding fracture morphology, osteoporosis, and clinical frailty scale. The study compare operation with either plate or nail fixation to non-surgical treatment. Participants will: - Receive either surgical treatment or non-surgical treatment. - At 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, the patient will answer two short questionnaires (Oxford Shoulder Score and Eq-5D-3L). The primary outcome will be Oxford Shoulder Score at 12 months. The secondary outcome will be OSS at 6 and 24 months and EQ-5D-3L score measured at the same time-points. Adverse events and conversion to surgery will be registered. OSS and EQ-5D-3L will be completed just before the 6 months visit.
Prospective patient registry examining the outcome of three different treatment methods for proximal humerus fractures in elderlies: conservative treatment, open and minimal invasive surgical treatment.
The present study try to evaluate the effectivenness of an early intervention program based on multimodal physiotherapy and focused on therapeutic exercise to improve the results of patients with a reverse shoulder phrostesis. This trial will be a randomized controlled trial with parallel groups, and outcomes variables will include psychometric properties through the use of specific questionnaries, and laboratory variables such as strength with a dynamometer, range of movement with a goniometer, muscle mass with an ultrasound, and kinematic parameters with inertial sensors. This study aims to develop an original intervention program in order to try to establish new protocols in the management of these patients.
The aim of this multicenter nonrandomised study is to prospectively compare the clinical and radiographic results of two different techniques of surgical fixation of proximal humeral fractures: percutaneous pinning versus plate and screws.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate compare postoperative range of motion in patients who are given a sling for comfort only and allowed to start early active range of motion compared to patients who are placed in a sling for 4 weeks with passive range of motion only. Once enrolled, the patients will be randomized through computer randomization then placed in paper packets into either the immobilization group or the early range of motion group.

This clinical trial aims to compare a Mixed Reality Viewer in the preoperative informed consent process to standard fracture visualization. The participants population are patients with an indication for surgery of a distal radius fracture, upper ankle fracture or proximal humerus fracture using plate osteosynthesis. The main questions aim to answer are: - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer improve patient understanding? - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer improve patient satisfaction? - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer reduce patient preoperative anxiety? Participants will have their fracture presented via the Mixed Reality Viewer. Researchers will compare standard fracture imaging using X-ray or CT scans to see if there is any difference in understanding, satisfaction and anxiety.
