Press-Fit vs Loose-Fit Radial Head Arthroplasty (PROFIT)
Outcomes of Press-Fit vs Loose-Fit Radial Head Implants: A Prospective Single-Blinded Randomized Control Trial With a Minimum Follow-Up of 2 Years
This study compares two types of artificial implants used to replace a broken part of the elbow (the radial head) when the bone is too damaged to repair. One implant (press-fit) is designed to grip the bone tightly so bone grows into it and holds it in place. The other implant (loose-fit) has a smooth stem that sits loosely in the bone and is meant to move slightly. Both implants are already approved and widely used; doctors do not yet know if one works better than the other. People taking part are placed by chance into one of the two implant groups. The study will follow them for at least 2 years to see how far they can bend and straighten the elbow, how much pain they have, how well the elbow works in daily life, whether the implant stays in good position on X-rays, and whether any further surgery is needed.

- Nicotine/tobacco use
- Chronic corticosteroid use
- Recent chemotherapy
-
Any condition that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, would make participation in the study unsafe or not in the patient's best interest.

Experimental: Press-Fit Radial Head Arthroplasty
Patients undergoing primary RHA with a press-fit (grit-blasted or porous-coated, ingrowth-dependent) radial head implant - Skeletal Dynamics radial head prosthesis. |
Skeletal Dynamics Radial Head (Press-Fit). Surgical placement of a press-fit radial head prosthesis sized for interference fit within the radial canal. |
|

O que o estudo está medindo?
Medidas de resultados primários
Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Elbow Flexion-Extension Arc of Motion
Prazo: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperatively
|
Total arc of elbow flexion-extension in degrees (maximum flexion minus loss of extension), measured with a goniometer. The primary comparison between groups is at 24 months postoperatively. Measurements at earlier time points are reported to describe recovery over time. |
Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperatively
|
Medidas de resultados secundários
Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Forearm Rotation Arc of Motion
Prazo: Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively
|
Total arc of forearm rotation in degrees (maximum pronation plus maximum supination), measured with a goniometer. |

Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) Score
Prazo: Baseline (preoperative), 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively
|
The QuickDASH is an 11-item patient-reported questionnaire assessing upper extremity function and symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 100, and higher scores indicate greater disability (worse outcome). |
