Inclusion

  • Neer 3 and 4-part proximal humerus fractures.
  • Age greater than and equal to 70 years old.
  • Functional deltoid musculature (axillary nerve intact).

Exclusion

Arm Label

Open Reduction Internal Fixation Proximal Humerus

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Arm Description

The patients randomized into the ORIF group will receive standard surgical treatment of their proximal humerus fracture with a proximal humeral locking plate.

The patients randomized into the RTSA group will receive standard surgical treatment of their proximal humeral fracture with a Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To measure the change using the chi-square tests for lowering the pain score of the patients
threshold of statistical significance will be set at α = 0.05.

5. Study Description

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.
