Comorbidities only account for a small proportion of excess mortality after fracture: A record linkage study of individual fracture types [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Non-hip non-vertebral fractures (NHNV) constitute the majority of osteoporotic fractures but few studies have examined the association between these fractures, co-morbidity and mortality.

Supporting the medial hinge in proximal humerus fractures with an intramedullary plate
Trauma Case Reports, 2021 Proximal humerus fractures are common and approximately 20% of displaced fractures may benefit from surgery. A lack of medial support is found to be a predictor of failure after surgical fixation of proximal humerus fractures.

Proximal Humerus Fracture Rehabilitation [PDF]
Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2006 The occurrence of proximal humerus fractures will continue to rise with the increasing elderly population. Many patients with proximal humerus fractures have osteoporosis and have poor neuromuscular control mechanisms. This predisposes them to future falls and additional fractures. Patients continue to have shoulder problems as a result of the fracture
