An observational study in Radial Head Fracture, Elbow Fracture and Arthroplasty Complications, sponsored by Sundsvall Hospital. Completed. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-12-20.
Sponsored by Sundsvall Hospital · Observational
Fractures of the radial head are among the most common fractures in the elbow and represent one-third of all elbow fractures.This retrospective cohort study was performed between 2004 and 2014 at Sundsvall and Umeå University hospital, Sweden. All patients who were operated on between 2004 and 2014 with a radial head arthroplasty for an acute or sequelae due to a caput radii fracture.The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical or radiological differences between patients treated with a unipolar or bipolar radial head arthroplasty.
47 studies on the registry are indexed under Elbow Fractures; 13 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 27 is below the median of 58 across 16 observational studies indexed under Elbow Fractures.

QuickDASH
Patients reported outcome measure. An abbreviated version of the Disabilities the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. Higher score indicate a greater level of disability, lower scores indicate a lower level of disability. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability).
Time frame: 2-16 years postoperatively
Pain
Visual analogue scale. Range 0-10. Higher value indicate more intensive pain.
Time frame: 2-16 years postoperatively
Range of motion
Rang of elbow motion. Measured in grades. Supination, pronation, extension and flexion were measured.
Time frame: 2-16 years postoperatively
Reoperation
Number of patients needing revision surgery
Time frame: 2-16 years postoperatively
Radiographic evaluation
Radiographic evaluation of the prosthesis. The presence of radiolucent lines, loosening of the prosthesis.
Time frame: 2-16 years postoperatively
