Correlation was found between the two functional scales, between them and the EQ-5D, and between range of motion and functional scales (except for external rotation) as well as between range of motion and EQ-5D (except for flexion and external rotation). The average range of motion was: flexion, 111.49° extension: 24.13° abduction: 109.40° adduction: 15.13° external rotation: 38.96°, and internal rotation: 49.28°. Average functional scores were: Constant-Murley 70.06 points, Quick DASH 35.74 points and EQ-5D 6.79 points. For objective evaluation of the range of motion a kinematic marker-free analysis with cameras was performed. After a minimum follow-up of two years, two functional scales (Constant-Murley and Quick DASH), and a quality of life scale (EQ-5D) were used for clinical evaluation. Retrospective study of a cohort of 47 elderly patients undergoing surgery from January 2010 to December 2014. To evaluate the results after locking plate internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures by means of a motion capture system, and functional scales. The Journal is included in the major databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, IME, EMBASE, Bibliomed, SCOPUS, and IBECS. All works are evaluated blind by at least 3 peer reviewers, whose judgements are finally supervised by the Editor of the particular area of knowledge and by the Journal Editor in Chief. The Editorial Committee consists of 10 independent members, specialists of recognised prestige that are not associated with the governing bodies of the Society. The Updates and Research Works sections are of great interest to specialists, due to the careful selection of the topics. In each issue it also publishes one or two clinical cases that are of great interest to the readers, since they are usually exceptional cases that are difficult to diagnose or treat. In the contents of the Journal, priority is given to original research articles on the specialty, which is also its main aim the publication of the best original research articles in Spanish. The Revista Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología (Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery and Traumatology) is the official publication of the Spanish Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology that has a combined total of 5,000 members, and is the leading Spanish journal of the specialty.
