Long endomedullary nail in proximal third humeral shaft fractures

, 2016
Proximal humeral fractures with a spiral line of fracture extending from the humeral head to the diaphyseal region are increasing. Treatment for these fractures is comparable to that for shaft fractures.

Surgical technique and early outcomes of intramedullary nailing of displaced proximal humeral fractures in an Asian population using a contemporary straight nail design

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2017
Background: Despite being a common orthopedic injury, the optimal management of proximal humeral fractures remains a topic of debate. Although intramedullary nails have been used to treat these fractures, several complications have been reported with ...

A GIS‐Based Approach to Modeling Carnivore Activity in the Pleistocene Site of Cova del Rinoceront (Iberian Peninsula)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A significant methodological difficulty in the interpretation of Pleistocene zooarchaeological assemblages is the identification of taphonomic agents that modify and break bones. Carnivores, in particular, have been a main focus, as competition with carnivores may have affected carcass acquisition opportunities for humans in the past.

Functional outcome of patients treated with proximal humeral internal locking osteosynthesis plate in proximal humeral fractures

, 2020
Background: Displaced or unstable proximal humeral fractures fare poorly with non-operative treatment. These are better treated with surgical intervention in order to prevent minimal displacement of tuberosity or articular surface from compromising the ...

A Comparison of the Costs of Managing Proximal Humerus Fractures in a Cohort of Patients Injured in Road Traffic Incidents Under the Transport Accident Commission Scheme in the State of Victoria

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Proximal humerus fractures are becoming more prevalent with associated increases in operative management. This study aimed to compare costs between operative and non‐operative management of these fractures in an Australian population. Methods A cost‐analysis was performed in a cohort of patients initially managed at a Level 1 Trauma

Bilateral Supracondylar Process in a Subadult in the Late Antique Age: A Case Report

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the excavation procedures for the railway trait Napoli‐Cancello, in the city of Afragola (Naples), several burials dating back to the Late Antique Age were found. One of them was an amphora burial (enchytrismòs) and contained the skeletal remains of a subadult individual affected by bilateral supracondylar process. Supracondylar process

Is loss of fixation following locked plating of proximal humeral fractures related to the number of screws and their positions in the humeral head?

Orthopedic Reviews, 2014
The aim of the study was to examine the correlation between the chosen position of screws and the complications observed in patients who underwent locked plating of proximal humeral fractures.

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Percutaneous Pinning of Pediatric Proximal Humeral Fractures [PDF]

, 2019
Proximal humeral fractures are relatively common in pediatric patients. These injuries are usually treated nonoperatively in younger children or children with minimally displaced fractures.
