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

Proximal humeral fractures follow the standard bimodal distribution in trauma, resulting from high-energy mechanisms in young patients (often motor vehicle collision or fall from height), and low-energy mechanisms in elderly patients (often ground-level falls).
