Proximal Humeral Fractures

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2010
The purpose of our study was to biomechanically compare, under cyclic loading conditions, fracture site motion, humeral head collapse, and intra-articular hardware penetration in simulated 3-part osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures stabilized with 1 ...

Multifragmentary proximal humeral fractures—precise fracture anatomy of the tuberosities identified with three-dimensional computed tomography [PDF]

JSES Reviews, Reports, and Techniques
: Background: Although the Neer classification of proximal humeral fractures typifies fracture anatomy, clinical practice often presents cases in which distinguishing between fracture types can be challenging.

Assessment of fracture stability following modified minimally invasive reduction osteosynthesis system (MIROS) fixation for Neer 2 and 3-Part proximal humeral fractures [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Conservative management for elderly proximal humeral fractures is an acceptable option, but the fracture stability is dubious. The purpose of this study was to investigate fracture stability and functional outcomes after modified minimally ...

Proximal humeral fractures [PDF]

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2011
Proximal humeral fractures may present with many different configurations in patients with varying co-morbities and expectations. As a result, the treating physician must understand the fracture pattern, the quality of the bone, other patient-related factors, and the expanding range of reconstructive options to achieve the best functional outcome and ...

Inter-rater agreement among shoulder surgeons on treatment options for proximal humeral fractures among shoulder surgeons [PDF]

Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2022
Background The treatment approach for proximal humeral fractures is determined by various factors, including patient age, sex, dominant arm, fracture pattern, presence of osteoporosis, preexisting arthritis, rotator cuff status, and medical comorbidities.

Fixation of Proximal Third Humeral Shaft Fractures in Older Patients

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2023
Background Humeral shaft fractures occur frequently in older patients. The more proximal end of the shaft is prone to non-union when compared with more distal fractures.

Ultrasonographic Measurement of Torsional Side Difference in Proximal Humerus Fractures and Humeral Shaft Fractures: Theoretical Background with Technical Notes for Clinical Implementation

Diagnostics, 2022
Both nonoperative and operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures (PHF) and humeral shaft fractures can result in torsional side differences. Several measurement methods are available to determine torsional malalignment. While conventional X-ray or

Preliminary clinical and radiographic outcomes of proximal humeral fractures: comparison of ALPS and PHILOS plating in Asian patients in Taiwan

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background Up to 20% of proximal humeral fractures need to be treated operatively. However, numerus complications were reported by using fixed angled locking plates.
