About this study

Proximal humerus is a common site for primary bone tumors and metastatic disease. Reconstruction with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) after resection is a surgical challenge and presented high risk of complication. The options for reconstruction after proximal humerus tumor resection are limited, and depend on the soft tissue conditions and bone loss. The most commonly used techniques include long cemented stem alone (in case of limited resection), allograft prosthetic composite (APC), massive prosthesis. In some cases two step procedure are performed : first step is resection and RSA with cement sleeve, and second step is APC or massive prosthesis.

Read the detailed description

Theses surgical options are complex, technically challenging, and at risk of complications (dislocation, infections, allograft pseudarthrosis…). High complication rate, length of the surgical procedure and post-operative recovery are a concern for theses frail patients.

Timing before being able to schedule the intervention (selection of the appropriately sized allograft, restricted access to grafts…) is also an issue. Postponing cancer resection surgery increases the risk of both local and distant tumor invasion. In case of secondary bone tumors, surgery is often decided for pain relief rather than with a curative intent. In cases where rapid bone graft is not available, and urgent surgery is required for pain or for oncological reasons, the bone loss can be compensated for by a temporary cement sleeve . In some cases, either because life expectancy has improved or has been longer than anticipated, or because the patient declined a second surgery for the implantation of an allograft, some patients can stay with the reconstruction with a long-cemented stem and cement sleeve.

The objective of this study was to compare functional outcomes and complications between APC and cement sleeve reconstruction. Our hypothesis was that, in cases of proximal humerus resection for tumors, reverse prostheses included in cryopreserved allografts would yield better clinical results and greater longevity than suspended prostheses with proximal metaphyseal reconstruction using a cement sleeve.

What is being measured

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

  1. Constant score

    Shoulder functional evaluation score : between 6 points ( worse outcome) and 100 points (better outcome)

    Measured: through clinical completion an average of 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. complication

    dislocation, infection,

    Measured: through clinical completion an average of 5 years

  2. mortality

    death: intervention-related or non-intervention-related, cause of death, delay of death

    Measured: through clinical completion an average of 5 years

  3. revision

    reoperation (with or without implant extraction), cause of revision, delay of revision

    Measured: through clinical completion an average of 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Disease, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 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 France. 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?

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?

Constant score (time frame: through clinical completion an average of 2 years). 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 24 Apr 2024.
