Functional Outcome and Complications in Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures Operated with Proximal Humerus Locking Plate [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2021 INTRODUCTION: Controversies exist in treatment of proximal humerus fractures as treatment options vary greatly from conservative management, closed pinning, stacked intramedullary nails, plating and hemi-arthroplasty.

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 ...

Proximal humerus fractures and shoulder dislocations: Prevalence of concomitant rotator cuff tear
Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2023 Background: Proximal humerus fractures and shoulder dislocations are relatively common. However, an associated rotator cuff tear is often missed with these injuries.
