What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. correlate osteoporosis (Cortical index) with clinical (Constant score) and radiological (X-ray) results of the procedure

    Osteoporosis will be analyzed with the cortical Index, already described in previous articles about this topic. Clinical evaluation will consider the Constant score, the most used functional score for shoulder. X-ray evaluation will analyze the healing of the fracture, studied by a radiologist, and mobilization of the plate or screws. Data will be combined to analyze correlation between clinical results, plate and screws stability and osteoporosis.

    Measured: 30 months average

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis and Humerus Fracture, run by Azienda Ospedaliera Bolognini di Seriate Bergamo.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

correlate osteoporosis (Cortical index) with clinical (Constant score) and radiological (X-ray) results of the procedure (time frame: 30 months average). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Apr 2016.
