A scoping review of biomechanical testing for proximal humerus fracture implants
BACKGROUND Fixation failure is a relatively common sequela of surgical management of proximal humerus fractures (PHF). The purpose of this study is to understand the current state of the literature with regard to the biomechanical testing of proximal humerus fracture implants. METHODS A scoping review of the proximal humerus fracture literature was performed, and studies testing the mechanica...
متن کاملA scoping review of the proximal humerus fracture literature
BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures are a common fragility fracture that significantly affects the independence of older adults. The outcomes of these fractures are frequently disappointing and previous systematic reviews are unable to guide clinical practice. Through an integrated knowledge user collaboration, we sought to map the breadth of literature available to guide the management of pr...
متن کاملAxillary Artery Injury Associated with Proximal Humerus Fracture: A Report of 6 Cases
Proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. The majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. Experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unreco...
متن کامل0865 - Biomechanical Evaluation of Proximal Humerus Fracture Fixation Supplemented with Calcium Phosphate Cement
Introduction Fractures of the proximal humerus are common, with an incidence similar to that of hip fractures. This injury is being increasingly encountered in our aging population because it is often related to weak, osteoporotic bone[1]. While the majority can be treated nonoperatively, approximately 20% are complex fractures which require surgical stabilization, either with internal fixation...
متن کاملA surrogate long-bone model with osteoporotic material properties for biomechanical testing of fracture implants.
In vitro comparative testing of fracture fixation implants is limited by the highly variable material properties of cadaveric bone. Bone surrogate specimens are often employed to avoid this confounding variable. Although validated surrogate models of normal bone (NB) exist, no validated bone model simulating weak, osteoporotic bone (OPB) is available. This study presents an osteoporotic long-bo...
