Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Optimal treatment of proximal humeral fractures is yet to be defined. Many of them can be treated non-operatively. The question remains on how long do we have to immobilize non-operatively treated proximal humeral fractures?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is still controversy on best treatment of proximal humeral fractures. While some authors propose surgical treatment other advocate for conservative treatment. Traditionally, fractures treated non-operatively undergo a 3-week period of immobilization followed by progressive rehabilitation program. Nevertheless, there is little evidence to support a 3-week immobilization period. The purpose of this study is to bring evidence to support either a 1-week immobilization or 3-week immobilization period in non-operatively treated proximal humeral fractures.
