Official Title: Comparison of Standard Treatment Methods for Proximal Humerus Fractures

Brief Summary:

The aim of the study is to compare the results regarding fracture healing

and functional outcome after the treatment of proximal humeral fractures

with the four different treatment methods after 12w./6months and 12 months

based on radiological evaluation as well as the "constant score" and the

"neer score".


Detailed Summary: Evaluation of proximal humeral fractures using a new stable-angled implant.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Radiological comparison of the fracture healing
  • Functional outcome based on "constant and neer score" after 12 months

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Analysis of occured complications
  • Radiological evaluation of possible misallocation
  • Subjective patient judgement of before and after treatment according to DASH-questionnaire
