Study Summary
Displaced, multi-part intracapsular, proximal humerus fractures represent a major challenge for patients and orthopedic surgeons. Proximal humerus fractures represent the third most common fracture after hip and distal radius fractures, and more than 20% of these fractures meet operative indications. Unfortunately, one of the major complications of these fractures is the development of avascular necrosis (AVN), or death of the bone as a result of the loss of blood supply to it. Currently, the ability to predict AVN is limited. The purpose of this study is to determine if computed tomography imaging can identify a quantifiable predictor of AVN following this type of humeral fracture.
Primary Outcome
All patients who have humeral head fractures will have a dual energy CT examination performed with intravenous contrast to evaluate the fracture pattern to determine if the patient is a surgical candidate. The amount of contrast within the fractured humeral head will be measured on this CT scan as a surrogate for blood flow. After conservative (no surgery) or surgical (open reduction internal fixation) treatment, the patient will be followed in the orthopedics clinic for two years. During each t
