Fractures of the distal humerus are overall rare fractures with a bimodal incidence in young (12–19) and old (80+) patients. Patients will complain of pain and swelling over the elbow with decreased range of motion. A detailed exam is compulsory as displaced fractures may endanger all neurovascular structures crossing the elbow.

The majority of humeral shaft fractures are successfully managed nonoperatively. Indications for surgery include open fractures, associated adjacent articular fractures, ipsilateral forearm fractures, vascular injuries requiring repair, and those with nerve injuries due to high-energy penetrating trauma.

Management of Proximal Humeral Fractures
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1994The understanding of early controlled range of motion adapted to the stability of the fracture is crucial in postfracture shoulder therapy. The diagnosis and management of proximal humeral fractures have been reviewed. In addition, the aspects of therapy and the pertinent rehabilitation protocols are outlined.

Fractures of the proximal humeral epiphysis
International Orthopaedics, 1993Twenty-two patients with marked displacement of a fracture of the proximal humeral epiphysis have been treated with closed or open reduction and fixation by Kirschner wires. At an average follow-up of 6.8 years there have been good functional results in almost all patients (91.1), with better results in patients under 13 years of age particularly with ...

Humeral shaft fractures are common in elderly osteoporotic patients with low-energy injuries or young patients with high-energy injuries. Fractures of the humerus account for 3–5% of all fractures. Most may be treated with splints and bracing, but open fractures, vascular injuries, and associated brachial plexus injuries do better with operative ...

Epidemiology of proximal humeral fractures
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1987In an urban population of half a million, all proximal humeral fractures were recorded in 1983. A total of 565 fractures, of which 77 per cent occurred in women, were seen. The overall incidence per 100,000 was 48 in men and 142 in women, with an exponential increase from the 5th decade of age.

Classification of Humeral Fractures
2018Kocher first proposed his classification of proximal humeral fractures based on anatomic location in 1896; to date, there are >5 classification systems of proximal humeral fractures in literature. According to the literature over the last 5 years, the most commonly used system is the Neer’s classification, followed by the AO/OTA classification.

Management of Humeral Shaft Fractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2012Humeral shaft fractures account for approximately 3% of all fractures. Nonsurgical management of humeral shaft fractures with functional bracing gained popularity in the 1970s, and this method is arguably the standard of care for these fractures. Still, surgical management is indicated in certain situations, including polytraumatic injuries, open ...

Fractures of the Humeral Diaphysis
1995Clinical experiences with functional bracing of diaphyseal humeral fractures have been gratifying in the majority of instances. The results are quite predictable and usually very satisfactory. The technology required is simple and the follow-up protocol is uncomplicated and easy to adhere to.

Fractures of the Humeral Shaft
1981The incidence of humeral shaft fractures is relatively low compared to that of other long bone fractures. Generally, they do not represent major problems when treated by closed techniques. Internal fixation is rarely used even by the most aggressive surgeons and it has been long recognized that complications from surgery are likely to occur.
