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 ...

Hemiarthroplasty for Humeral Head Fractures
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2007Replacement of the fractured humeral head with a modular prosthesis. The procedure aims at an adequate reconstruction of shape and function of the shoulder.Displaced three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus that cannot be reduced and internally fixed.Fracture can be reduced and adequately internally fixated.

Isolated Fracture of the Humeral Capitellum
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1981Twenty-nine patients with fractures of the capitellum of the humerus were treated at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital during 15-year period; 17 were available for follow-up assessment. A classification based upon the specific nature of the fracture and the degree of trochlear involvement is a suggested guide to treatment and prognosis.

The epidemiology of humeral shaft fractures
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1998We have analysed 249 consecutive fractures of the humeral shaft treated over a three-year period. The fractures were defined by their AO morphology, position, the age and gender of the patient and the mechanism of injury. Open fractures were classified using the Gustilo system and soft-tissue injury, and closed fractures using the Tscherne system ...

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.

Plating in Proximal Humeral Fractures
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2007Improved imaging, updated knowledge regarding humeral head perfusion and adapted fixation techniques with implants having better purchase also in osteopenic bone, have influenced the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in recent years. Demographic evolution and a more active population even among the older age groups will increase the incidence of ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
