Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Versus Open Reduction Internal Fixation of 3&4 Part Proximal Humerus Fractures

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Closed Fracture Proximal Humerus, Four Part
Interventions
Procedure: Fracture repair with joint replacement
Procedure: Fracture repair
Registration Number
NCT02597972
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Will patients who suffer complex humerus fractures have better functional outcomes and less implant failure with shoulder replacement (reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, RTSA) compared to shoulder repair (open reduction and internal fixation, ORIF)?

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3 and 4-part proximal humerus fractures treated with either ORIF or RTSA.
