Filter by:This study evaluates the effects of T2 paravertebral block block improving interscalene brachial plexus block and superficial cervical plexus block on the relief of pain intensity during elderly proximal humerus fracture fixation surgery. The brachial plexus and cervical plexus block(IC block) will be performed in half of participants, while the T2 paravertebral block combined with IC block will be performed in the other half.
Surgery is a common treatment type for damaged joints, tendons and nerves in the upper limb where conservative measures are inappropriate or have failed. These conditions are common and result in significant levels of pain and functional disability. The investigators are conducting a broad ranging study of variation in the provision of surgical treatment and factors affecting outcomes after surgical treatment of upper limb conditions. This will be a population-based study of all patients undergoing surgical treatment funded by the National Health Service (NHS) of England over a nineteen-year period. This study will help to understand the factors associated with a poor outcome following surgery, which can be shared with patients considering treatment options. The investigators will also document current and future health service burden associated with commonly performed surgical procedures including complications and repeat operations.
This study investigates the efficacy of physiotherapist-supervised training once per week during 10 weeks compared to home-based training during 10 weeks, after proksimal humerus fracture.
Proximal humerus fractures are particularly frequent injuries and represent 6% of all fractures with an overall incidence of 63/100.000 in human. The goal is to assess our institutional evidence based algorithm for treatment of proximal humeral fractures. Objective(s): 1. Test the algorithm in terms of clinical applicability and clinical outcome 2. Compare general outcome and general complication/revision rate to the literature. Inclusion / Exclusion criteria: Inclusion: All patients with an acute proximal humeral fracture (not older than 48 hours) admitted to our institution later than 1.1.2014. Exclusion: Multilevel and pathological fractures are excluded. Terminally ill patients and those not being able, or willing to sing the informed consent. Project Centre(s): Single-centre. Statistical Considerations: Standard descriptive statistics will be performed using R-statistics program. Considering the population of 160 patients, we will be able to detect differences in proportions as low as 0.15 with power 82% and alpha = 0.05. Other methodological Considerations: Terms applicability of a treatment protocol and adhesion to protocol are not well defined for decision making in orthopaedic surgery.
Xin1 Humerus system is an X-ray-based tracking and navigation system designed to calculate the plate position and all required proximal screw lengths for proximal humerus plate fixation. The aim is to validate the system performance in a clinical context and test the surgical handling of the Xin1 marker in a hospital environment. 10 adults having sustained a proximal humerus fracture and are indicated for plate fixation osteosynthesis will be provided intraoperatively with the Xin1 marker. The system performance is evaluated retrospectively by post-processing the intraoperative X-ray images after surgery
Proximal humeral fractures are common injuries with the highest incidence being amongst the elderly. Most proximal humeral fractures are nondisplaced or minimally displaced. The majority of these are reliably treated nonoperatively with an acceptable functional outcome. The treatment of displaced fractures is more controversial. Consensus is lacking as to when surgery is indicated or what type of procedure to choose if surgery is elected. Displaced 3- and 4-part fractures where internal fixation is deemed unreliable have been considered an indication for hemiarthroplasty. Hemiarthroplasty gives reasonable control of pain but the resulting shoulder function and range of motion is unpredictable. The use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is increasing and might result in a better range of motion then hemiarthroplasty. The aim of this multicenter study is to test the hypothesis that reverse total shoulder arthroplasty gives better shoulder function than hemiarthroplasty for displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures.
Prospective non-randomized, open, unicentric observational study to compare two different treatments for Three-four parts fractures of proximal humerus (Neer's Classification) in elderly patients (over 75 years old). Both technics are: Sling inmobilization and shoulder arthroplasty.
Optimal treatment of proximal humeral fractures is yet to be defined. Many of them can be treated non-operatively. The question remains on how long do we have to immobilize non-operatively treated proximal humeral fractures?
From April ,2014 to April 2015,31 patients with fractures of the proximal humerus were treated in our hospital. According to anatomic neck fractures (ANF) and surgical neck fractures (SNF), we divided the patients into two groups. All the patients were followed at least 1 year.
With this study results of the Targon® PH+ nail, developed for the treatment of humeral head fractures, will be investigated clinically, radiological evaluation is optional. The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of a plating treatment on the speed of recovery of functional capacity in adult patients. Secondary aims are to examine the level of pain, patient satisfaction, shoulder function, quality of life, radiological evaluation and complications. Targon PH+ is CE certified. The study is a non-interventional cohort study sponsored by Aesculap
