Radiographic patterns of osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures [PDF]
European Journal of Radiology, 2018 The objectives of the study were: a) to identify osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures in a large consecutive series of patients; b) to identify radiographic fracture patterns among osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures; and c ...

Proximal humerus fractures are among the most common fractures associated with osteoporosis. With an aging population, incidence of these fractures will only increase. The proximal humerus not only forms the lateral portion of the shoulder articulation but also has significant associations with musculoskeletal and neurovascular structures. As a result,

Fractures of the proximal humerus
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1999Proximal humeral fractures are common particularly in the elderly. The decision of the optimal treatment is dependent on many factors. On the one hand the biological age of the patient and the bone structure plays a key-role, on the other hand the living conditions and individual needs are of importance. Most fractures with minimal displacement respond

Fractures of the Proximal Humerus
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2013Proximal humeral fractures are common, with low-energy injuries occurring in the elderly population and less frequent high-energy fractures striking young people. This article discusses the anatomy, clinical evaluation, and treatment of these fractures.

Fractures of the proximal humerus in children
La Chirurgia degli Organi di Movimento, 2008Ninety-one children who had been treated for fractures of the proximal humerus (59 metaphyseal fractures; 32 epiphyseal fractures) from 1980 to 1992 at an average age of 10.7 years (range 3 to 14 years) were reviewed. In 82 cases a nonsurgical treatment (Desault bandage in 11 cases, hanging cast in nine cases, closed reduction and shoulder spica cast ...

The epidemiology of fractures of the proximal humerus
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1989Sevenhundred and thirty proximal humeral fractures, taken from a 5-year period, were entered in this study. We found a higher total incidence rate than that previously seen: 73/100,000 population. Twenty-nine percent of the patients required hospitalization; 75% of these were over 60 years old.

Fractures of the Proximal Humerus in Adults
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1985Fractures of the proximal humerus are a common upper-extremity injury, particularly in the elderly. The literature suggests that the results of treatment of displaced fractures are generally unsatisfactory. Since Neer's articles in 1970 we found little reported in the literature on these fractures.

The treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus
Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1980Fractures of the proximal humerus, which can not be kept in place after reposition--and therefore not acceptable for conservative treatment--can be sufficiently fixed by a thin and long Rush-pin percutaneously introduced. So the damaged arm can be moved early. No inflammation and no pseudarthrosis was observed in 124 cases. The follow up examination of

Comminuted Fractures of the Proximal Humerus
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988Difficulty in fully defining the injury, patient characteristics, osteoporosis, technically difficult surgery, the need for carefully supervised physiotherapy, and the realization that a poor initial result is very difficult to reconstruct make the comminuted fracture of the proximal humerus a problem fracture.
