Proximal Humerus Fracture range of motion simulation

More information available at http://www.clinicalgraphics.com.

In this video a demonstration is given on how our range of motion simulation platform Articulis can be used to evaluate proximal humerus fractures (PHF). This work is a collaborative project between the Leiden University Medical Center, St Mary's Hospital, Imperial College London and Delft University of Technology.

Treatment of PHFs depends on many parameters, one of them being the expectation with regards to functional outcome. Bone-determined range of motion is an important indicator for this. In this specific case it can be seen that in the pre-operative situation range of motion is heavily limited. However, post-operatively range of motion is not limited by bony structures, increasing the odds on successful recovery.
