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.

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 ...

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.

In 1970 Neer published a large case series of proximal humeral fractures [1], introducing a classification system based on the involved anatomical segments of the proximal humerus that are displaced in any particular case, (Fig. 12.1).

Proximal humeral fractures continue to pose challenges on many fronts. From fracture characterisation to treatment choices and personalised treatment decisions, there is limited guidance from the literature. The PROFHER Trial, being the largest randomised trial to date on these fractures, has provided high quality evidence to justify non-surgical ...

Proximal humeral fractures will likely continue to be an important area of discussion and study in the future because optimal treatment strategies remain unclear in many situations. The PROFHER trial in particular has generated much debate with respect to the treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures, and this is likely a discussion that will ...
