Impacted 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 کاملFour-part valgus impacted fractures of the proximal humerus.
There is a specific type of displaced four-part fracture of the proximal humerus which consists of valgus impaction of the head fragment; this deserves special consideration because the rate of avascular necrosis is lower than that of other displaced four-part fractures. Using either closed reduction or limited open reduction and minimal internal fixation, 74% satisfactory results can be achiev...
متن کاملImpacted valgus fractures (B1.1) of the proximal humerus. The results of non-operative treatment.
We present a retrospective study of 125 patients with an impacted valgus fracture (B1.1) of the proximal humerus. This fracture rarely occurs in young patients and is much more common in elderly fit subjects. All patients were documented prospectively and followed for one year. None was treated surgically. At one year, 80.6% of the patients had a good or excellent result, the quality of which d...
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 کاملMinimal Invasive Percutaneous Osteosynthesis for Elderly Valgus Impacted Proximal Humeral Fractures with the PHILOS
There is a growing concern about elderly valgus impacted proximal humeral fractures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment and clinical outcomes following minimal invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) with the proximal humeral internal locking system (PHILOS) for the treatment of elderly valgus impacted proximal humeral fracture. Between May 2008 and May 2012, 27 pati...
