Proximal Humerus Surgery in Covid Recovered Patients
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn the outcome of proximal humerus fracture surgery in patients who had it delayed due to COVID infection and compare it with normal patients with same fracture and treatment. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do the patients with proximal humerus fracture undergoing delayed fixation secondary to COVID infection have the same outcome as that of the normal patients? The outcome of patients of both group will be assessed objectively via the standard Neers shoulder score and compared using independent variable T test.
