NCT03626038
This study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled post-market clinical follow-up study. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the A.L.P.S. Proximal Humerus Plating System applied in proximal humerus fracture treatment.
NCT03328650
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
NCT06659107
This is study evaluates a novel technique to improve the stability of K-wires used in the fixation of proximal humeral fractures
NCT06133920
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.

The management of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) remains a significant challenge in orthopaedics. The acute treatment options for PHFs are numerous and are typically guided by the fracture pattern and functional demands of the patients. The most commonly used methods include non-operative management with a sling or surgical fixation. Although non-surgical treatment is a reasonable treatment option for the majority of humerus fractures, there is an increasing interest in surgical intervention. There are no evidence-based treatment recommendations, thus permitting large local variation in treatment preferences. There are a number of studies in the literature about how outcome measures of the patients after PHFs management change, but these results generally compare functional results before and after treatment. Misra et al. stated that conservatively managed patients with PHFs have more pain and a poorer range of motion than those managed by either fixation or arthroplasty, while cochrane review stated that surgery is not superior to nonsurgical treatment in most proximal humerus fractures. Jayakumar et al. determined that kinesiophobia is one of the strongest predictors of functional limitation and recovery from a PHF is enhanced by overcoming fears of movement or reinjury within a week after injury. There is no clear knowledge regarding how the surgical or conservative management used in the management of PHF affects the early results of assessment parameters. The aim of this study was to compare early results of surgical fixation versus non-operative management outcomes in patients with proximal humerus fractures.
NCT04675879
In the investigators' prospective randomized study, the investigator will investigate the effect of different bandage types on functional and radiological results of proximal humerus fractures over 18 years of age, for whom conservative treatment is decided. In recent studies, it has been shown that surgical treatment in proximal humerus fractures has a high complication rate and is also not superior to conservative treatments in terms of functional results. Therefore, the importance of conservative treatment is increasing day by day in this group of fractures, especially in elderly patients with high risk for surgery. In these studies in the literature, the method in conservative treatment is not clearly specified, and the investigator will apply 3 different bandages to adjust the rotation of the shoulder in 3 different ways during the investigators' conservative treatment. The investigator will compare functional and radiological results between these groups.
NCT03339570
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.
NCT03263221
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
