Trial summary

Locked posterior glenohumeral dislocations with a reverse Hill-Sachs impaction fracture involving less than 30% of the humeral head are most frequently treated with lesser tuberosity transfer into the defect, whereas those involving more than 50% undergo humeral head arthroplasty.

About this study

Locked posterior glenohumeral dislocations with a reverse Hill-Sachs impaction fracture involving less than 30% of the humeral head are most frequently treated with lesser tuberosity transfer into the defect, whereas those involving more than 50% undergo humeral head arthroplasty. Reconstruction of the defect with segmental femoral osteochondral allografts has been proposed to treat patients between these two ranges, but the medium-/long-term outcomes of this joint-preserving procedure are controversial.

Read the detailed description

Twelve patients with a unilateral locked posterior shoulder dislocation and at least 30% (mean 31%) impaction of the humeral head were treated with segmental reconstruction of the defect with fresh-frozen humeral head osteochondral allografts. Patients were assessed clinically, radiographically and with computed tomography (CT) at a medium follow-up of 66 months (range, 24-225).All twelve shoulders presented a slight limitation in anterior elevation

  • fresh-frozen humeral head osteochondral allograft reconstruction for reverse Hill-Sachs lesionProcedure or surgery

    Between 2001 and 2018, a total of 12 consecutive patients were surgically treated for a locked posterior glenohumeral dislocation with a humeral head defect affecting at least 30% of the head diameter. During surgery, the bone defect was substituted with a fresh-frozen humeral head osteochondral allograft.

Allo Omero 2020ExperimentalHumeral allograft group 12 patients were surgically treated for a locked posterior glenohumeral dislocation with a humeral head defect affecting at least 30% of the head diameter. During surgery, the bone defect was substituted with a fresh-frozen humeral head osteochondral allograft.Included patients were clinically and radiographically re-evaluated for the purpose of this study by examiners not involved in the primary treatment at a mean of 66 months postoperatively. The clinical examination consisted of a physical examination and structured interview. Computed tomography (CT) was carried out at the medium follow-up of 66 months in all patients to evaluate OA progression and allograft resorption.

What is being measured

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

  1. Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI)

    The WOSI score questionnaire is a tool designed for self-assessment of shoulder function for patients with instability problems.

    Overall scores range from 0 to 2100 with a score of 0 indicating better shoulder function and 2100 indicating worse shoulder function.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES)

    The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES) was designed to assess the condition of the shoulder, regardless of disease pathology.

    The ASES is a composite instrument, requiring both a physician assessment and a patient-completed portion; however, it is commonly presented as solely the patient-reported survey. This includes a section on pain (7 items) and a section on activities of daily living (10 items). Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating a worse shoulder condition and 100 indicating a better shoulder condition.

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Constant-Murley score (CS)

    The Constant-Murley score is a 100-points scale composed of a number of individual parameters. These parameters define the level of pain and the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient.The Constant-Murley score was introduced to determine the functionality after the treatment of a shoulder injury. The test is divided into four subscales: pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), strength (25 points) and range of motion: forward elevation, external rotation, abduction and internal rotation of the shoulder (40 points). The higher the score, the higher the quality of the function.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Samilson-Prieto score

    The Samilson-Prieto classification system is based on the presence and size of osteophytes and the rate of arthrosis in the uninvolved shoulder reflects the high sensitivity of this system. The prevalence of arthritis is often reported in long-term follow-ups after trauma or surgery.

    The higher the score, the worse the arthritis.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fresh-frozen humeral head osteochondral allograft reconstruction for reverse Hill-Sachs lesion in people with Shoulder Dislocation Closed Traumatic, run by Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli at 1 site in Italy.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 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 Italy. 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?

Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI) (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04823455, 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 23 Sep 2024.
