Exclusion criteria: General Exclusion Criteria: - Primary tumor (osteogenic origin, etc.) at site - Impending fracture or actual fracture location other than humerus - Current concomitant traumatic fracture of any other location - Active or incompletely treated infections that could involve the device implant site - Distant foci of infection that may spread to the implant site - Allergy to implant materials or dental glue - Vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, or neuromuscular disease at implant site - Uncooperative patients, or patients who are incapable of following directions (for example, as a consequence of a neurological or psychiatric disorder);Impending Fracture-Specific Exclusion Criteria: - Mirels Score
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameters is subject success which is determined by achieving the safety and effectiveness endpoints at the Day 90 Visit. Safety Success is evaluated by meeting all of the following criteria: • Clinical - No Serious Device Related Complications - No additional surgical interventions (i.e.revisions, supplements, fixations, or removals) • Radiographic - No device fracture, migrations, mal-alignment or loss of reduction or fixation Effectiveness Success is evaluated by achieving pain reduction and functional improvement: • Pain Reduction - VAS Pain Score change of >= -33% compared to baseline • Functional Improvement - Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) improvement of >= +10% from baseline - EORTC QLQ-C30 improvement of > +10% from baseline - EORTC QLQ-BM22 improvement of > +10% from baseline | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints, evaluated at the Day 90 Visit, and at the Extended Follow Up Visits include: 1. The seven composite endpoint components listed under the primary endpoint. Other secondary endpoints include: 2. Duration of index procedure and length of hospital stay. 3. Activities of Daily Living score through all follow-up intervals. 4. VAS Pain score from baseline through all follow-up intervals. 5. Disability status. 6. Evaluation of duration of physical therapy prescription. 7. Assessment of prescription and over-the-counter analgesic medication use. 8. Survivability from time of index procedure to death. The safety endpoints evaluated include: 1. Incidence and number of AEs. 2. Incidence and number of procedure- and device-related complications. | — |
