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 ...

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 ...

A Study on Functional Outcome of Hemiarthroplasty for Proximal Humeral Fractures – An Observational Study [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) represent a significant portion of fragility fractures in the elderly, ranking third after hip and distal radius fractures.

Progress in the treatment of complex osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients [PDF]

Frontiers in Surgery
Proximal humeral fracture is one of the most prevalent osteoporotic fractures in the elderly, ranking third after hip and distal radius fractures and accounting for approximately 10% of all geriatric fractures. With population aging, its global incidence

Imaging-based assessment of fracture stability does not reliably predict outcomes in patients with two-part proximal humeral fractures and may lead to unnecessary surgeries [PDF]

EFORT Open Reviews
Two-part surgical neck fractures are the most common displaced proximal humeral fractures in the elderly. Most fractures can be categorized into varus-impacted or medially translated fracture patterns. The natural healing process often involves secondary

Fibular allograft augmentation shows potential benefits in treating medial column comminuted proximal humeral fractures with osteoporosis: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
Background Fibular allograft (FA) augmentation is proposed to address the lack of medial column support in plate-fixed proximal humeral fractures; however, the role of FA augmentation in these fractures remains inadequately elucidated.

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.

Functional outcome after combined osteosynthesis and osteosuture for proximal humeral fractures [PDF]

The Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal, 2013
BackgroundProximal humeral fractures account for ~5% of all fractures. Many different techniques have been described for the treatment of comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus.

The epidemiology of proximal humeral fractures [PDF]

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 2001
We present a 5-year prospective study of the epidemiology of 1,027 proximal humeral fractures. These fractures, which tend to occur in fit elderly persons, have a unipolar age distribution and the highest age-specific incidence occurs in women between 80 and 89 years of age. The commonest was the B1.1 impacted valgus fracture, found in one-fifth of the
