Antibiotics Usage in Pediatric Orthopaedic Percutaneous Surgery (APOPS)
Supracondylar Humerus FracturePost Operative Wound InfectionThe aim of this study is to determine if antibiotics affect the outcome after percutaneous surgery for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. The patient population will be recruited from the cohort presenting to Women and Children's Hospital for percutaneous fixation of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures who meet the eligibility criteria and consent to taking part in the study. Patients will be followed up for 3-6 weeks depending on age, and will be evaluated on the presence or absence superficial or deep infection, Visual Analog Scale pain scores, time to healing, need for repeat casting, and loss of fixation.
Surgical Interventions for the Treatment of Humeral Shaft Fractures
Fracture of Shaft of HumerusHumerus FractureThis study intends to determine the best surgical treatment for humeral shaft fractures. One third of the patients will be treated with open reduction and internal fixation with plate; one third, with bridge plate technique and the remaining third with locked intramedullary nail.
Influence of Local Bone Status on Complications After Surgical Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fractures...
Proximal Humeral FracturesPoor Bone Quality1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate if poor bone quality increases the risk of specific types of treatment complications in patients with proximal humerus fractures treated with open reduction and angle-stable plates (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System - PHILOS).
A Clinical Investigation of the Discovery™ Elbow System
OsteoarthritisRheumatoid Arthritis2 moreThe purpose of this study is to perform a five-year, multi-center prospective evaluation of the Discovery™ Elbow System for outcome and durability. Relief of pain and restoration of function will determine long-term clinical outcome while durability will be measured by the absence of revisions.
Orthopaedic Treatment Proximal Humeral Fractures
Proximal Humeral FractureProspective 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.

Implant ComplicationProximal Humeral Fracture1 morePatients treated operative for Proximal humeral fractures with angular stable device (Philos plate or ALPS-PHP)
Comparison of Day-time and Night-time Operations of Supracondylar Humeral Fractures
Supracondylar FractureMorbidityThis study aims to investigate that performing supracondylar humerus fracture operations during daylight hours may have better results than performing them at night.
Rotator Cuff Injury in Antegrade Locked Nailing for Humeral Fractures
Humeral FracturesThe purpose of this study is to investigate the potential insults of rotator cuff muscle and the functional recovery of upper extremity function after antegrade nailing of humeral fractures.
Does Surgical-approach Affect Outcome After Fixation of Intra-articular Fractures of Distal Humerus?...
Distal Humerus Fractureobservational study at tertiary care hospital and level 1 trauma centre aiming to evaluate the difference between two common surgical approaches to distal humerus fracture fixation.
Pediatric Type III Supracondylar Humeral Fracture
Supracondylar Humerus FracturePediatric FracturesThe purpose of this study was to compare pin configuration effects on early secondary displacement in the surgical treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures (SCHF).
