Brief Summary

There is currently no consensus amongst orthopedic specialists on the best way to treat 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures. No surgery and surgery with a type of shoulder replacement called a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are two options that many orthopedists use. This study is being performed to evaluate the differences in short- and long-term pain and functional outcomes between patients who are treated with these two different options.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Function as described by ASES score at 1 year follow-up.	2 year follow-up	The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score is a well-validated, patient-reported outcome measure used by shoulder and elbow surgeons. The score ranges from 0-100 with 100 signifying the best outcome. Half of the score correlates to pain and half to function, both on a 0-50 scale where higher is again considered a better outcome. The pain portion is tabulated by taking the patient's response on a visual analogue scale (0 to 10 scale where 0 represent no pain and 10 represents worst pain imaginable), subtracting it from 10, and then multiplying by 5. The function score is tabulated by taking the patient's response on 10 questions rated on an ordinal scale from 0-3 and then multiplying the cumulative score by 5/3.
