This report has been verified

original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty versus nonoperative treatment for 3- or 4-part proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients: a prospective randomized controlled trial
J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2019 Dec;28(12):2259-2271.Sixty-two patients aged 80 years or older with a 3- or 4-part displaced proximal humerus fracture were randomized to receive a reverse shoulder arthroplasty or conservative treatment with a sling. The primary outcome of interest was the Constant score at 12 months post-operation. Secondary outcomes of interest included the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, the Short-Form 12 (SF-12) mental and physical component scores and pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Follow up was performed up to 12 months post-treatment. Results revealed no significant differences in all outcomes at all time-points, with the exception of VAS pain scores at 12 months which were significantly lower in the surgical group compared to the conservative group.
