Proximal humerus fractures constitute a significant percentage of fragility fractures. The
growing use of locking plate has helped treat this problem, but at the same time has brought …

Objectives The objective of this Health Technology Assessment was to evaluate
effectiveness, complications and cost-effectiveness of surgical or non-surgical treatment for …

Cost‐effectiveness analyses (CEA) conducted alongside randomised trials provide key
evidence for informing healthcare decision making, but missing data pose substantive …

Proximal humerus, humeral shaft, and distal humerus fractures are all common adult
fractures, and often occur in older patients. While the treatment of proximal humerus …

Large financial resources are needed to treat fractures. Surprisingly little is, however, known
about actual numbers, treatment methods or outcomes. A large population-based …

Background As healthcare systems come under ever-increasing pressure to provide more
care with fewer resources, emphasis is being placed on value-based systems that maximise …

Background Nonoperative management of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) is the most
common treatment, but its functional outcome may improve with early mobilization. In frail …

Objective: To quantify the stability of 3 points of inferiorly directed versus 3 points of
superiorly directed locking screw fixation compared with the full contingent of 6 points of …

Recent work has illustrated how Bayesian approaches to discrete simulation optimization
can be applied to clinical trial design. These approaches balance the expected cost of …

OBJECTIVE. Proximal humerus fractures are highly traumatic and debilitating. Surgical
fixation may be contraindicated in older clients, thus requiring a systematic rehabilitation …
