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.

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

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.

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

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.
