“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.

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

Fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus with ipsilateral shaft fracture: a report of two cases
Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2020 We report two cases of ipsilateral proximal humerus fracture dislocation and shaft fracture in young adults. Fractures were treated with prosthetic replacement for the proximal humerus and open reduction and internal fixation for the shaft fracture due ...
