Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Acute Proximal Humeral Fractures in the Geriatric Patient

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2011
Proximal humeral fractures are frequently encountered in the elderly population. While the majority of these fractures can be managed nonoperatively, 2-, 3-, and 4-part fractures, head splitting, and complex fracture dislocations typically require ...

Functional Outcome after Simultaneous Bilateral Four-Part Proximal Humerus Fracture: A Comparison of ORIF and Hemiarthroplasty in an Individual Patient

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2012
Simultaneous bilateral four-part proximal humeral fractures are rare. Four-part fractures of the proximal humerus are difficult for the patient and technically demanding for the surgeon.

Polarus nail fixation for proximal humeral fractures.

, 2014
PURPOSE: To report the outcomes of Polarus nail fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures. METHODS: Medical records of 19 men and 27 women aged 26 to 84 (mean, 63) years who underwent fixation using a standard Polarus nail (n=34) or Polarus plus ...

Mechanical evaluation of a new minimally invasive device for stabilization of proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients : a cadaver study

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Treatment of proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients is challenging because of reduced bone quality. We determined the in vitro characteristics of a new implant developed to target the remaining bone stock, and compared it with an ...

Reviewing our institutional experience of percutaneous versus open plating of proximal humeral fractures

, 2020
Background: Fractures of the proximal humeral are a common referral to orthopaedic centres. While undisplaced fractures can be managed  conservatively with a plaster U-slab, the Neer criteria define the requirements for operative intervention.
