Clinical Outcomes of the ALPS Proximal Humerus Plating System

This study examines outcomes for patients who undergo plate fixation surgery (ORIF) for fractures of the upper arm bone (proximal humerus) using a specific plating system. Researchers track pain, function, and recovery to evaluate how well the device works. You may be eligible if: - You are 18 years or older - You have a proximal humerus fracture that requires surgical fixation using the A.L.P.S. Proximal Humerus Plating System - Your fracture involves the metaphysis (the bone near the joint) - You can read English You may NOT be eligible if: - You have an active infection or osteomyelitis - You have a psychiatric disorder that limits your ability to provide consent - You have known risk factors for pathologic fractures (e.g., bone metastases) - You have been treated for osteoporosis in the past 5 years - You have Type 1 diabetes, bone disease, a history of cancer, or chronic steroid use Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
