Treatment of proximal humeral fracture with a proximal humeral nail

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2010
Various treatment options are available for displaced proximal humeral fractures. This study monitored a series of patients treated with a locking proximal humeral nail (PHN).Fixation with a PHN can be an effective method when treating patients with two part surgical neck fractures of proximal humerus.PHNs were used to surgically repair humeral neck ...

Plating of Proximal Humeral Fractures

Orthopedics, 2012
The 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 ...

Trends in epidemiology and patho-anatomical pattern of proximal humeral fractures

open access: yesInternational Orthopaedics, 2014
PURPOSE: Proximal humeral fractures are common and frequently associated with osteoporosis. Little is known about the association between the patho-anatomical fracture pattern of proximal humeral fractures and patient characteristics. The purpose of this

Epidemiology of proximal humeral fractures

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1987
In 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.

Fractures of the proximal humeral epiphysis

International Orthopaedics, 1993
Twenty-two patients with marked displacement of a fracture of the proximal humeral epiphysis have been treated with closed or open reduction and fixation by Kirschner wires. At an average follow-up of 6.8 years there have been good functional results in almost all patients (91.1), with better results in patients under 13 years of age particularly with ...

Management of Proximal Humeral Fractures

Journal of Hand Therapy, 1994
The understanding of early controlled range of motion adapted to the stability of the fracture is crucial in postfracture shoulder therapy. The diagnosis and management of proximal humeral fractures have been reviewed. In addition, the aspects of therapy and the pertinent rehabilitation protocols are outlined.

Fractures of the Proximal Humeral Epiphysis

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1975
Displacements of the proximal humeral epiphysis at the epiphyseal plate result from extension injuries. The configuration of the epiphyseal plate and the thickness of the periosteum surrounding the epiphysis make slight to moderate displacements relatively stable injuries, which can be treated successfully with external support.
