NCT03567954 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 25

Last updated 2024-03-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US) in detecting full-thickness (a lesion that extends through both the bursal and articular part of the tendon) rotator cuff tear in patients who have sustained a proximal humerus fracture, using operative examination as the golden standard.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tear
  • Proximal Humeral Fracture

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound examination of the rotator cuff tendons

An ultrasound scan of the rotator cuff tendons will be performed to determine the presence of a rotator cuff tear or not
