FRACTURE—DISLOCATION HEAD OF HUMERUS

Gunshot Fracture of Head of Humerus: Excision

Qalandar, a powerfully built man, aged about forty, presented himself at the Murdan Dispensary on 27th July 1883, gave the following account of himself:?Ten days previously he had, according to his usual custom, placed a loaded gun on his bed, alongside him, with the stock at his feet and the muzzle near his arm-pit; in the morning, before rising, he grasped the barrel near the muzzle with the ...

Surgical management of complex humerus head fractures

The locked plate systems provided adequate fixation of osteoporotic fractures of the proximal humerus in the elderly. But is the PHILOS plate adequate for stabilization of high-energy fractures, and fracture-dislocations of the proximal humerus in relatively younger age populations? In this retrospective study, performed at a referral, academic supervised, level III-trauma center, all high-ener...

Hemiarthroplasty for head-split fractures of the proximal humerus.

Hemiarthroplasty has been recommended for 3- and 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus. Outcomes are most affected by final implant and tuberosity position. Reports of outcome and management of head-split fractures with humeral head replacement are lacking. The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes after humeral head replacement and the radiographic characteristics identified in h...

Determining torsion angle of humerus head using MRI method.

BACKGROUND/AIM To measure the torsion angle of the humerus using images obtained via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in healthy volunteers and to evaluate outcomes with respect to sex and age groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of 36 healthy adults (18 males and 18 females aged between 20 and 68 years). The humeral torsion angle (HTA) was calculated using axial MRI images. Diff...
