Hounsfield units predicts the occurrence but not the patterns of proximal humerus fracture in the elderly patients [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023 Background Increased incidence of fragility fractures of the proximal humerus has been reported. Proximal humerus Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements based on computed tomography (CT) scans of the shoulder can be used to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD).

Non Vascularised Fibula Strut Graft Augmentation for Fixation of Proximal Humerus 3-Part Fracture using PHILOS Plate and CC Screws in a Young Male [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Proximal humerus fracture accounts for 4-5% of all fractures. Locking Compression Plate (LCP) Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) fixation is currently the most widely used method for the management of unstable proximal humerus fractures.

A Case of Humeral Head Fracture-dislocation with Vascular Injury: How We Managed it [PDF]
Journal of Orthopedics and Joint Surgery, 2022 Axillary artery injury is uncommon, although proximal humerus fractures are prevalent. The majority of axillary artery injuries in the literature have been attributed to anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few have been linked to single proximal humerus

Proximal humerus fractures [PDF]
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2012 Proximal humeral fractures are extremely common injuries, and are one of the true osteoporotic fractures. Most fractures can be effectively treated nonoperatively, as the rich vascularity and broad cancellous surfaces impart a high propensity for healing. Additionally, many fracture patterns result in adequate bone contact and minimal displacement with
