Plating of Proximal Humeral Fractures
Orthopedics, 2012The optimal treatment for proximal humeral fractures is controversial. Few data exist concerning the influence of the surgical approach on the outcome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of proximal humeral fractures treated with locking plate fixation through a deltopectoral vs an anterolateral deltoid ...

Epidemiologic Features of Humeral Fractures
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982Five hundred sixty-four Rochester, Minnesota, residents had a total of 586 humeral fractures during the period from 1965 to 1974. Of these, 47% involved the proximal humerus, and 20% the humeral shaft, and 33% the distal humerus. The incidence of humeral fractures associated with severe trauma was relatively higher among children and young adults, and ...

Humeral shaft fractures: a review
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2011Summary Humeral shaft fractures are common orthopaedicinjuries that can often be managed nonoperatively withhigh union rates and excellent results as the generaloutcome. Specific indications exist for operativemanagement and include polytrauma patients, openfractures, certain fracture patterns, and failure to main-tain an acceptable closed reduction ...

Distal Humeral Fractures in Adults
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2011Distal humeral fractures in adults are relatively uncommon injuries that require operative intervention in the majority of cases. Dual plate fixation, with placement of a separate strong plate on each column and orientation of the plates either at 90° or 180° to each other, is indicated for all adult fractures involving both columns of the distal part ...

Supracondylar Humeral Fractures in Children
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2008Operative fixation is indicated for most type-II and III supracondylar humeral fractures in order to prevent malunion. Medial comminution is a subtle finding that, if treated nonoperatively, is likely to lead to unacceptable varus malunion. Angiography is not indicated for a pulseless limb, as it delays fracture reduction, which usually corrects the ...

Fractures of the Proximal Humeral Epiphysis
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1975Displacements of the proximal humeral epiphysis at the epiphyseal plate result from extension injuries. The configuration of the epiphyseal plate and the thickness of the periosteum surrounding the epiphysis make slight to moderate displacements relatively stable injuries, which can be treated successfully with external support.

Proximal Humeral Fractures: Nailing
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2007Treating proximal humeral fractures surgically has always been a challenge for the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. The challenge was and is due to numerous factors such as the specific anatomy of the proximal humerus, problems of an adequate approach and exposure of the fracture and different fracture fragments, possible iatrogenic injuries to the rotator ...

Neer arthroplasty for humeral fracture
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1985The Neer arthroplasty was performed in 10 patients with four-part proximal humeral fractures. The average follow-up was 2.5 years. No serious complications occurred. All but one became pain-free, but only four were classified as excellent or satisfactory. Videofluoroscopy revealed only minimal gleno-humeral movement in most cases.

Complications in proximal humeral fractures
Injury, 2016Necrosis of the humeral head, infections and non-unions are among the most dangerous and difficult-to-treat complications of proximal humeral fractures. The aim of this work was to analyse in detail non-unions and post-traumatic bone defects and to suggest an algorithm of care.

Distal Humeral Fractures in Adults
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1996Distal humeral fractures in adults often pose a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Preoperative planning, minimal devitalization of bone and soft tissue, and adherence to the prerequisites of biomechanical fixation are all important elements in effecting the desired end result.
