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...
متن کاملShoulder hemiarthroplasty for fractures of the proximal humerus
Proximal humeral fractures were managed with primary hemiarthroplasty in 57 patients, 53 women (93%) and 4 men (7%) aged 51-87 years (mean 72.2). The mean follow-up period was 52 months (range 12-98), and the mean Constant score was 59.2 (range 38-76). Patients were very satisfied (n = 19); satisfied (n = 32) or dissatisfied with the outcome (n = 5). One patient required early revision surgery....
متن کاملHemiarthroplasty for three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures.
Displaced three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures are among the most challenging shoulder conditions to manage. Because of the risk of symptomatic malunion, nonunion, and humeral head osteonecrosis, surgical management is preferred. Locking plate technology has provided an alternative to hemiarthroplasty for certain three- and four-part fracture patterns, even in the setting of osteopen...
متن کاملTreatment of comminuted proximal humerus fractures with shoulder hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.
This retrospective study was done to find out the outcome of hemiarthroplasty of the shoulder following comminuted proximal humeral fractures in 20 elderly patients. Their average age was 77.6 years. The average follow-up was 33 months. All patients were reviewed in the outpatient clinic using the Constant Score. The median Constant Score was 47.5. None of the patients had severe pain. Four had...
متن کاملHemiarthroplasty versus reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for acute proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients.
Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture in elderly patients. Hemiarthroplasty has been the treatment of choice in patients with bone quality and fracture patterns not amenable to open reduction and internal fixation. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a newer option that appears to be less dependent on tuberosity healing than hemiarthroplasty. The authors hypothesized ...
