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 کاملInternal fixation of proximal humerus fractures with the polarus intramedullary nail.
The optimal treatment method for displaced proximal humeral fractures continues to be under debate. There are a variety of fixation techniques, none of which has been proven to be more effective. We retrospectively studied 24 patients with displaced proximal humerus fractures, treated with the Polarus intramedullary nail. All patients were followed radiographically and clinically for one year. ...
متن کاملTreatment of pathological fractures of the humerus with a locked intramedullary nail.
OBJECTIVE The humerus is a common site for metastasis. Intramedullary nail fixation has been reported to be the best form of fixation for this disease but complications occur. This study aimed to assess the use of a new humeral nail to treat pathological fractures and impending pathological fractures of the humerus. METHODS 29 patients received 31 Austofix locked intramedullary humeral nails:...
متن کاملTreatment Outcome of Intramedullary Fixation with a Locked Rigid Nail in Humeral Shaft Fractures
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the treatment outcome of humeral shaft fractures with a locked rigid intramedullary nail in patients indicated for surgical treatment. Methods: In this descriptive-cross sectional study, all patients were followed up for one, six, and 18 months post operatively. The Short Form Questionnaire (SF-36) and Constant Shoulder Score were applied. Re...
متن کاملIntramedullary Nailing for Pathological Fractures of the Proximal Humerus
BACKGROUND Endoprosthetic reconstruction is widely applied for pathological fractures of the proximal humerus; however, functional impairment is usually unsatisfactory. The aims of the current study are to evaluate the reliability of interlocking intramedullary (IM) nailing with cement augmentation as a fixation method in proximal humeral lesions and to assess functional outcomes. METHODS We ...
