Proximal humeral fractures are quite frequent, especially seen in elderly females with osteopenic bone structure. Based on precise diagnostics and a consequent classification of the fracture, it is possible to define an individual treatment protocol. Doing so it is very helpful to understand the individual pathomechanism leading to the fracture pattern

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 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

The vast majority of fractures are produced by falls from standing height (87%), while sports injuries and road accidents constitute a small proportion of proximal humeral fractures (8%) and represent the younger population (33 years-old for sport injuries and 46 years for road accidents) whose fracture patterns and treatment considerations are not the

Proximal humeral fractures: current controversies
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2011According to Horak and Nilsson, 5% of all fractures of the human body are fractures of the proximal humerus. Palvanen et al reported an increase in these fractures of more than 3-fold between 1970 and 2002. Court-Brown et al found that 70% of all 3and 4-part fractures are seen in patients aged over 60 years and 50% in patients aged over 70 years. These
