Outcomes of Internal Fixation in Proximal Humerus Head Split Fractures in Young Adults – How Often Is It Missed and Can We Really Afford to Do So [PDF]
Introduction: Humerus head-split fractures are a rare subgroup of proximal humerus fractures that are challenging to treat. Being a coronal plane fracture, they are often missed on standard shoulder radiographs.

Imaging-based assessment of fracture stability does not reliably predict outcomes in patients with two-part proximal humeral fractures and may lead to unnecessary surgeries [PDF]
Two-part surgical neck fractures are the most common displaced proximal humeral fractures in the elderly. Most fractures can be categorized into varus-impacted or medially translated fracture patterns. The natural healing process often involves secondary

Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Dislocation After Trauma with Coracoid Apophysis Fracture – A Rare Association [PDF]
Anterior dislocations represent about 96% of total shoulder dislocations, with recurrence/instability being more common in young patients. Injury of other shoulder structures is frequent, namely bony Bankart lesion. However, the association with coracoid

Bilateral Clavicle Fractures: A Report of Three Cases [PDF]
Bilateral clavicle fractures are uncommonly reported in the literature with the incidence being less than 0.5% of all the clavicle fractures. Bilateral clavicle fractures are caused either by high-energy transfer of compression forces across both ...

Coracoid fractures are an uncommon injury and typically occur in the setting of high-energy trauma. Isolated injury to the coracoid is rare; therefore, a high suspicion for concomitant shoulder injuries should exist.

Background: Proximal humerus fractures can be fixed with shoulder hemiarthroplasty when joint preserving strategies are not feasible. Current literature has explored the outcomes of this intervention with short- and mid-term follow-up showing favorable ...
