Abstract:To investigate the relationship between age, gender and the Constant score. Two hundred and seventy Healthy volunteers (527 normal shoulders) from our local population with no previous history of shoulder disease were assessed using the Constant score. The mean age was 43.9 years (16-86) and the mean Constant score 85.9 (56-100). The mean score was 88.1 (range 56-100) for men and 83.7 (range 60-100) for women. A mixed regression model estimated that, for the male population, the Constant score falls by 0.15 po… Show more
“…7 Our final path diagram shows a clear influence of age and sex on shoulder function after 1 year, which is well known. 40,44 Treatment was identified as another important prognostic factor, with LPHP fixation having a less favorable effect on the final outcome score compared with treatment with PHN. A similar effect was observed in a prospective cohort study comparing LPHP and nail fixation.…”

“…AP and transscapular radiographic examinations at the time of injury, after surgery, and at the time of last followup (mean, 30 months; range, 12-83 months) were available for all patients. Functional and clinical assessments using the age-and gender-specific ConstantMurley [29] and the SF-36 [31] scores were performed at the last followup or at the time of a complication. Inclusion criteria were a traumatic Neer Group VI fracture treated either by the PHILOS 1 plate or primary HA and a minimum of 12 months followup.…”
Background Neer Group VI proximal humeral fractures often are related to persistent disability despite surgical treatment. We retrospectively compared the outcome after open reduction and internal fixation with the PHILOS
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
