Distal Humerus Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2007
Fractures of the distal humerus in adults have traditionally presented a treatment challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. The combination of anatomic complexity, multifragmentary comminution, and a short distal segment, often in the setting of osteoporotic bone, renders these fractures difficult to treat successfully and often make a full restoration of

Proximal Humerus Fractures

Clinical Anatomy, 2006
Fractures of the proximal humerus are common. A relatively large number of these injuries will heal with nonoperative treatment without major residual pain or functional loss. However, internal fixation or arthroplasty leads to a much better outcome for selected fractures.

FRACTURES OF THE DISTAL HUMERUS

Orthopedics, 1992
ABSTRACT We present a rational approach to the classification and surgical management of intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. The fractures are classified on the basis of the surgical anatomy of the distal humerus, which is divided into two skeletal columns held together by the trochlea.

Pediatric Fractures of the Humerus

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2005
Humeral shaft fractures constitute only 3% of fractures in children younger than age 16 years. They are most common in children younger than 3 and older than 12 years old. They can be classified according to the fracture pattern, location, and tissues damaged. Fractures resulting from minor trauma may be caused by an occult unicameral bone cyst.

Distal Humerus Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2008
Intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus are among the most challenging fractures to manage. Nonoperative treatment, although appropriate for some patients, often leads to loss of motion and unsatisfactory functional outcomes. Over the last 2 decades, enhanced operative techniques and implant designs have improved the reduction and stability of ...

Fractures of the proximal humerus

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1999
Proximal humeral fractures are common particularly in the elderly. The decision of the optimal treatment is dependent on many factors. On the one hand the biological age of the patient and the bone structure plays a key-role, on the other hand the living conditions and individual needs are of importance. Most fractures with minimal displacement respond

PATHOLOGIC FRACTURES OF THE HUMERUS

Orthopedics, 1992
ABSTRACT Pathologic fractures of the humerus create serious management problems. Impending fractures often can be anticipated. Fixation of impending or established fractures may provide significant benefits: comfort, improved functional ability, and facilitation of nursing care.

Pathologic Fracture of the Humerus

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986
Review of patients with pathologic fracture of the humerus disclosed that closed treatment resulted in a high incidence of pain, disability, and failure to heal. The most common cause of pathologic fracture of the humerus is breast cancer. A review of records of 103 patients with persistent disease after initial treatment for breast cancer revealed ...

Fractures of the Humerus in Children

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1976
Fractures of the humerus above the distal epiphysis are not common fractures in children. Treatment should be directed toward maintenance of alignment with healing expected without fail. Contrary to experience with adults with the same fractures, children seldom have residual functional or cosmetic problems if one aligns the fractures and protects the ...

FRACTURES OF THE DISTAL HUMERUS

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2000
The quality of elbow function after fracture of the distal humerus is related to the degree to which normal anatomic relationships are restored. This article addresses the issues related to fractures of the distal humerus, including challenges, controversies, surgical exposure, postoperative management, and complications.
