Proximal Humerus Open Fracture in Pediatrics: A Case Report and Literature Review
Background: Proximal humerus fracture (PHF) in pediatrics is managed with different options: nonoperative or operative. However, proximal humerus open fractures are sparse in the literature. Case Report: We present a 9-year-old boy who presented

“90/90” Plating of proximal humerus fracture—a technical note
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]
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

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.
