Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the A.L.P.S® Proximal Humerus Plating System. Specific Aims: - Conduct physical assessments measuring shoulder strength and range of motion, physician assessment of radiographs - Obtain patient-reported outcomes regarding pain level, function capabilities, and work/leisure restrictions - Document revisions, complications, and adverse events
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
Retrospective observational study of reversed shoulder arthroplasties by proximal humeral fracture. Analysis of preoperative risk factors as well as minor and major complications at the first week, 90 days and 1 year.
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?
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.
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.
The purpose of the project is to compare the management of 3 and 4 part proximal humerus fractures (PHF) with an angular stable plate (Philos) with that of an intramedullary nail (Multiloc) in light of complications, radiological, economical, functional and clinical outcome.
This is a randomized trial comparing conservative with surgical treatment (with open reduction and locking plate fixation) for proximal humeral fractures in patients aged more than 60 years.
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
