Clinical Application of Nail‐Plate Fixation in the Treatment of Complex Proximal Third Humeral Fracture: A Case Report and Literature Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, 2023
Background Proximal humeral fractures with increasing incidence are common over the past decades. Among them, the complicated and displaced ones, especially combined with the proximal third humeral shaft fractures, need to be treated surgically.

Influence of Proximal Humeral Cortical Bone Thickness on the Radiographic Outcome After Osteosynthesis of Proximal Humeral Fractures: Propensity Matching Score Analysis

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2023
Introduction Osteoporosis can affect the surgical outcomes of proximal humeral fractures in older people. Recently, the cortical bone thickness of the proximal humerus on plain radiograph has been proposed to reflect local osteoporosis of the proximal ...

Epidemiology of proximal and diaphyseal humeral fractures in children: an observational study from the Swedish Fracture Register

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Most fractures in children are fractures of the upper extremity. Proximal and diaphyseal humeral fractures account for a minority of these fractures. To our knowledge, few previous reports address these fractures.
