Reverse shoulder arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty versus non-surgical treatment for older adults with acute 3- or 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (PROFHER-2: PROximal Fracture of Humerus Evaluation by Randomisation – Trial Number 2)

Abstract:

This non-anatomical procedure, featuring a convex glenoid and concave humeral component, has shown promising short (1-2 years) - to mid-term (2-5 years) clinical results.
