Locking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures.
Locking plates are increasingly used to surgically treat proximal humerus fractures. Knowledge of the bone quality of the proximal humerus is important. Studies have shown the medial and dorsal aspects of the proximal humeral head to have the highest bone strength, and this should be exploited by fixation techniques, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporosis. The goals of surgery for p...
متن کاملLocking plates in proximal humerus fractures.
It is well known that proximal humerus fractures are among the three most frequent fracture types. Epidemiological invetsigations show that in people elder than 60 years the fracture of the proximal humerus is more frequent than fractures of the hip region (17). Over the last decades several techniques have been applied for treatment of proximal humerus fractures. Widely accepted is the initiat...
متن کاملTo Detect the Outcome of Proximal Humerus Fractures Treated With a Locking Proximal Humerus Plate
Aim: To evaluate the safety, usefulness, and practical outcome of the locked proximal humerus plate (LPHP) to treat proximal humerus fractures. Setting: Patel hospital Karachi, Indus Hospital Karachi and Civil Hospital Karachi. Methods: Over a 08 month period, 64 consecutive patients were treated with a LPHP for an unstable or displaced proximal humerus fracture. Demographic data, trauma mechan...
متن کاملProximal humerus fractures.
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 can sign...
متن کاملThe operative management of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus.
Fractures of the proximal humerus may involve either the true articular surface of the glenohumeral joint, the gliding surface of the subacromial joint, or both. Glenohumeral motion and strength rely on intact joints and on the coordinated interplay of the muscles and tendons around the shoulder. Contraction of the muscles of the rotator cuff creates a stabilising compressive force, with a down...
