Evaluation and Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures [PDF]

Advances in Orthopedics, 2012
Proximal humerus fractures are common injuries, especially among older osteoporotic women. Restoration of function requires a thorough understanding of the neurovascular, musculotendinous, and bony anatomy.

Predictors of outcomes of proximal humerus fractures in children and adolescents: A systematic review

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2022
Purpose: Minimally displaced pediatric proximal humerus fractures can be reliably managed non-operatively; however, there is considerable debate regarding the appropriate management of severely displaced proximal humerus fractures, particularly in older ...

Proximal humerus fractures: Treatment controversies [PDF]

OTA Int
Abstract The treatment of proximal humerus fractures is challenging, and significant controversy exists even regarding which patients are indicated for surgical treatment. When surgery is indicated, open reduction and internal fixation is the most common type of treatment.

Self-reducing proximal humerus fractures [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2017
Background: Proximal humeral fractures are common in the elderly and can present with multiple fracture configurations. Our case series describes a three-part valgus-impacted fracture pattern of the proximal humerus that underwent spontaneous reduction ...

Epidemiology of proximal humerus fractures

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2015
There are only a few previous population-based studies that include both inpatient and outpatient treatment data. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of proximal humerus fractures. The incidence of proximal humerus fractures increases with age, and we observe a seasonal variation strongly favoring winter months.Proximal humerus ...

Which Factors Influence the Need for Inpatient Aftercare of Elderly Patients After Hospital Treatment for Proximal Humerus Fractures? [PDF]

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation
Introduction While epidemiology and treatment strategies of proximal humerus fractures have been well studied, post-hospital care is poorly analysed. Corresponding data is available in the context of hip fractures, but the evidence regarding proximal ...

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

Hawkins wiring for three-part fractures of the proximal humerus: A case series

Trauma Case Reports, 2022
Three-part proximal humerus fractures in the elderly continue to be difficult to surgically treat. We evaluated the Hawkins wiring (HW) technique, which utilizes figure-of-eight tension band wiring, to treat three-part proximal humerus fractures ...
