About

The purpose of this study is to study with the use of clinical and radiological parameters the treatment of three-part and four-part fractures with the Winsta PH osteosynthesis device (Fischer Medical).

Full description

We shall measure the following clinical parameters with the help of the Constant Shoulder Score (CSS) and Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index (WOOS):

  1. Pain
  2. Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
  3. Range of Motion (ROM)
  4. Muscle strength

We shall measure the following radiologic parameters:

  1. Healing (migration) of tuberculum majus and minus measured with use of MB-RSA
  2. Plate migration with use of MB-RSA
  3. Bone density in the proximal humerus measured with Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)
  4. Correlation between bone density and prosthesis migration (and tuberculum migration)
