Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Radiographic nonunion. Timepoint: Patients will be followed up and evaluated clinically and radiographically at 1, 3, and 6 months after the fracture. Method of measurement: This variable will be assessed based on radiographic imaging and the absence of bone union at the fracture site during follow-up visits.;Functional assessment. Timepoint: Patients will be followed up and evaluated clinically and radiographically at 1, 3, and 6 months after the fracture. Method of measurement: Shoulder and upper limb function of each patient will be assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.;Patient pain scale. Timepoint: Patients will be followed up and evaluated clinically and radiographically at 1, 3, and 6 months after the fracture. Method of measurement: Patient pain will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a single-item measure ranging from 0 to 10 (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain).;Revision surgery rate. Timepoint: Patients will be followed up and evaluated clinically and radiographically at 1, 3, and 6 months after the fracture.
