Nail Fixation of Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus (PH) fractures are among the most fracture types. Surgery is indicated in displaced fractures. The charge-book for surgical management of PH fractures is restoring PH anatomy, obtaining stable osteosynthesis, and conserving PH vascularization. Proximal humerus nailing is an osteosynthesis technique we have been using since 2000. Our initial indication for using a nail for PH fr...
متن کاملLocking 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 کاملInternal fixation of complex fractures of the proximal humerus.
We treated 34 consecutive articular fractures of the proximal humerus in 33 patients with good bone quality by open reduction and internal fixation. Anatomical or nearly anatomical reduction was achieved in 30, at a mean follow-up of 63 months (25 to 131), complete or partial avascular necrosis had occurred in 12 cases (35%). Two patients subsequently underwent arthroplasty and six further pati...
متن کاملOpen reduction internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.
The treatment of proximal humerus fractures continues to evolve. While the many of these injuries can be managed nonoperatively, a certain percentage require operative treatment. Open reduction internal fixation can offer excellent outcomes when performed in the appropriate patient and utilizing proper techniques. This article reviews the most up-to-date literature regarding all phases of proxi...
متن کاملCurrent concepts in locking plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures
Despite numerous available treatment strategies, the management of complex proximal humeral fractures remains demanding. Impaired bone quality and considerable comorbidities pose special challenges in the growing aging population. Complications after operative treatment are frequent, in particular loss of reduction with varus malalignment and subsequent screw cutout. Locking plate fixation has ...
