Open reduction and Internal Fixation of Displaced Proximal Humerus Fractures with AO Stainless Steel T-Plate [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2014 Background: Proximal humeral fractures are considered the last unsolved fractures in orthopaedics. The treatment is controversial and various operative modalities have been reported in the literature.

Minimal Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) Technique Using Anterolateral Approach for Treating Closed Proximal Humerus Fracture [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2012 Proximal humerus fracture is the second most common fracture of the upper extremity and presents several unique problems such as anatomical complexity, high risk of avascular necrosis, minimal bone stock for purchase, significant morbidity, and lack of a

“90/90” Plating of proximal humerus fracture—a technical note
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019 Introduction While locking plates have markedly improved fixation of proximal humerus fractures, a cohort of fractures remains difficult to treat. This cohort has been identified as fractures with marked medial comminution and varus deformity.

A Limb-Threatening Long Arterial Dissection Caused by Humerus Neck Fracture: A Case Report [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2018 Proximal humerus fracture is a common arm trauma and rarely occurs with vascular injury which however is a serious complication. In this case report, we present a long segment dissection of the axillary and brachial arteries as a rare complication due to

Morphological Analysis of Fractures of the Proximal Humerus by the Fracture Mapping Technique
Orthopaedic Surgery, 2023 Objective Fractures of different parts of the proximal humerus may lead to different postoperative functional deficits, but there are few studies on the morphology and related functions of the proximal humerus.

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

Trending a decade of proximal humerus fracture management in older adults
JSES International, 2022 Background: Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture in older adults. Because of the aging population, the incidence of these fractures and their impact will continue to grow.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Proximal Humerus Greater Tuberosity Fracture
Arthroscopy Techniques, 2020 Proximal humerus fractures are common fractures that may occur after ground level falls or other traumatic events resulting in a direct injury to the shoulder. Depending on the fracture morphology and the age of the patient, anatomic reduction can vastly
