Hawkins wiring for three-part fractures of the proximal humerus: A case series

Trauma Case Reports, 2022
Three-part proximal humerus fractures in the elderly continue to be difficult to surgically treat. We evaluated the Hawkins wiring (HW) technique, which utilizes figure-of-eight tension band wiring, to treat three-part proximal humerus fractures ...

Biomechanical Evaluation of the Fixation Methods for Transcondylar Fracture of the Humerus:ONI Plate Versus Conventional Plates and Screws [PDF]

, 2010
We biomechanically evaluated the bone fixation rigidity of an ONI plate (Group I) during fixation of experimentally created transcondylar humerus fractures in cadaveric elbows, which are the most frequently observed humeral fractures in the elderly, and ...

Locking plate fixation versus intramedullary nail fixation for the treatment of multifragmentary proximal humerus fractures (OTA/AO type 11C): a preliminary comparison of clinical efficacy

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of locking plate and intramedullary nail fixations in the treatment of patients with OTA/AO type 11C proximal humerus fractures.

Prediction of the Proximal Humerus Morphology Based on a Statistical Shape Model with Two Parameters: Comparison to Contralateral Registration Method

Bioengineering, 2023
(1) Background: Complex proximal humerus fractures often result in complications following surgical treatment. A better understanding of the full 3D displacement would provide insight into the fracture morphology.

Proximal Humerus Fracture Rehabilitation [PDF]

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2006
The occurrence of proximal humerus fractures will continue to rise with the increasing elderly population. Many patients with proximal humerus fractures have osteoporosis and have poor neuromuscular control mechanisms. This predisposes them to future falls and additional fractures. Patients continue to have shoulder problems as a result of the fracture

Proximal Humerus Fractures

The Professional Medical Journal, 2017
Proximal humerus fractures are relatively rare and represent 4–5% of all upper extremity fractures. Younger patients with a high-velocity mechanism of injury and older patients with a low-velocity mechanism of injury make up the patient population.

First Record of an Extinct Marabou Stork in the Neogene of South America [PDF]

, 2008
We describe a new large species of marabou stork, Leptoptilus patagonicus(Ciconiiformes, Ciconiidae, Leptoptilini), from the late Miocene Puerto Madryn Formation, Chubut Province, Argentina.

Reliability of Measuring the Proximal Humeral Bone Mineral Density Using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry

Osteology
We established a protocol for assessing the areal bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal humerus using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We also investigated the correlation between the BMD of the proximal humerus and that of the lumbar spine ...

Extended deltopectoral approach for revision total elbow arthroplasty requiring humeral allograft-prosthetic composites in patients with severely compromised proximal humerus bone stock

JSES Reviews, Reports, and Techniques, 2023
Background: Severe humeral bone loss in the setting of failed total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) poses a particularly challenging reconstructive problem. The objective of this study was to review the rationale, indications, contraindications, and detailed ...

Antibiotic Spacers in Shoulder Arthroplasty: Comparison of Stemmed and Stemless Implants. [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Antibiotic spacers in shoulder periprosthetic joint infection deliver antibiotics locally and provide temporary stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences between stemmed and stemless spacers. Methods: All spacers placed
