About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study of Proximal Humeral Fractures Treated With Targon® PH+

With this study results of the Targon® PH+ nail, developed for the treatment of humeral head fractures, will be investigated clinically, radiological evaluation is optional. The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of a plating treatment on the speed of recovery of functional capacity in adult patients. Secondary aims are to examine the level of pain, patient satisfaction, shoulder function, quality of life, radiological evaluation and complications.

Targon PH+ is CE certified. The study is a non-interventional cohort study sponsored by Aesculap

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional Capacity

    The DASH score (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) will be used to determine the recovery of functional capacity. It provides a summary of the responses on a scale of 0 (no disability) to 100 (severe disability)

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Level of pain

    10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from no pain (0) to most extreme pain imaginable (10)

    Measured: 3, 12 and 24 months

  2. Patient satisfaction

    4 point scale: very satisfied, satisfied, unsatisfied, very unsatisfied

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Shoulder Function

    Shoulder function outcome is measured with the Constant-Murley score, this score system combines shoulder function tests (65 points) with a subjective evaluation of the patients (35 points) including activities of daily living, level of work

    Measured: 12 months, 24 months

  4. Radiological outcome (only if it could be raised in clinical standard)

    The X-rays are examined regarding adverse events as screw perforation, screw breakage, cut-out, re-dislocation of the fracture

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Adverse Events

    Rate of Adverse Events, for example secondary interventions (revisions) that occur within the follow-up period

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Fractures, run by Aesculap AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 0 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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?

Functional Capacity (time frame: 24 months). 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 7 Jun 2019.
