Proximal 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 کاملImpacted valgus fractures of the proximal humerus☆
Impacted valgus fractures of the proximal humerus are considered to be a special type fracture, since impaction of the humeral head on the metaphysis with maintenance of the posteromedial periosteum improves the prognosis regarding occurrences of avascular necrosis. This characteristic can also facilitate the reduction maneuver and increase the consolidation rate of these fractures, even in mor...
متن کاملThe Neer Classification for Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture type in individuals older than 65 years, after distal radius and proximal femur fractures [8]. In 1970, Charles Neer described his four-segment classification system [18]. He believed the existing classifications were inadequate for research purposes, as they did not differentiate between injuries of varied severity nor did they grou...
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...
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...
