About this study

Pseudarthrosis of the humerus is a serious complication of humerus fractures, of particular interest to subjects young working people with pseudoarthrogenic risk factors (tobacco++). It represents a real problem therapeutic given the long period of treatment, its disabling socio-professional repercussions and the cost which resulting.

The aim of our work is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of different surgical techniques. used.

Read the detailed description

The management of pseudarthrosis of the humerus remains a subject of controversy. Given our results, the investigators think that osteosynthesis by plate associated with bone grafting and/or decortication remains the most suitable for the treatment of aseptic pseudarthroses of the humeral shaft while treatment with Ilizarov is most appropriate in septic pseudarthrosis.

However, the best treatment for pseudarthrosis of the humerus remains that of treating the initial fracture. and better control of pseudoarthrogenic risk factors (tobacco++).

    SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PSEUDARTHROSIS OF THE HUMERUS

What is being measured

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

  1. Distribution of atrophic pseudarthrosis according to technique surgical procedure used (in Number of patients)

    Surgical technique Screwed plate:5 Percutaneous pinning:12

    Measured: a minimum follow-up of 10

  2. Distribution of hypertrophic pseudarthrosis according to technique surgical procedure used (in Number of patients)

    Surgical technique Screwed plate:4 Percutaneous pinning:9

    Measured: a minimum follow-up of 10 months

  3. Time to consolidation depending on the type of pseudarthrosis (in months)

    Atrophic Pseudarthrosis 4.4 months Pseudarthrosis Aseptic 5.28 months Hypertrophic Pseudarthrosis 5.8 months Septic Pseudarthrosis 4.6 months

    Measured: a minimum follow-up of 10 months

  4. Average Constant score postoperatively according to the means of restraint

    Screwed plate(24) :74 External fixator(28) :64 Nailing centromedullary(1) :69

    Measured: a minimum follow-up of 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Humerus Fracture, run by Ibn Jazzar Hospital.

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 3 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 11 Apr 2024. 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.

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?

Distribution of atrophic pseudarthrosis according to technique surgical procedure used (in Number of patients) (time frame: a minimum follow-up of 10). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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.
