Shoulder hemiarthroplasty for fractures of the proximal humerus
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Surgical treatment of three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus with hemiarthroplasty is a safe and effective approach, the outcome of which appears to be related to the quality of the anatomical reconstruction of the tuberosities.

Background: This study compared the outcomes between patients with proximal humerus fractures (PHF) whounderwent acute reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) to those who underwent an alternative initial treatmentbefore requiring (secondary) RSA.Methods: Patients who underwent RSA after suffering a PHF were identified. Two year clinical follow-up was requiredfor inclusion. Patients were divi...
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 ...

BACKGROUND The substantial increase in the utilization of shoulder arthroplasty in the United States during the past decade is partly attributable to the growing acceptance of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). This study compared the national utilization of and indications for shoulder hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and RSA. METHODS The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was...
متن کاملFunctional outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty compared with hemiarthroplasty for acute proximal humeral fractures.
BACKGROUND Complex acute proximal humeral fractures may require prosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been suggested as an alternative to hemiarthroplasty in the management of such fractures. This study compared the functional outcomes of RSA with hemiarthroplasty in patients with acute proximal humeral fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS All pat...

Complex displaced proximal humerus fractures are frequently treated with a fracture prosthesis. This paper outlines the indications, introduces various fracture prostheses, describes the surgical technique, and rehabilitation for treatment of proximal humerus fractures with a fracture prosthesis hemiarthroplasty. Outcomes are noted to be improved when near anatomic humeral head height, and retr...
متن کاملOutcome of shoulder hemiarthroplasty in acute proximal humeral fractures: a frustrating meta-analysis experience.
Limited evidence is available on the optimal treatment of complex fractures of the proximal humerus. No randomized prospective studies have compared hemiarthroplasty, open reduction internal fixation and/or conservative treatment. Two systematic reviews are available but they do not include angle-stable plate osteosynthesis or third-generation prosthetic designs. We conducted a systematic revie...
