About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Winsta PH Osteosynthesis Device in the Treatment of Three- and Four-Part Fractures of the Proximal Humerus A Prospective Migration and Bone Density Study

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).

Read the detailed 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)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fracture, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Healing (migration) of tuberculum majus and minus measured with use of Model-Based Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (MB-RSA) (time frame: five years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00408291, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jan 2024.
