The optimal treatment of proximal humerus fractures is debated; however, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become increasingly popular as the primary treatment. We systematically reviewed the PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases to identify English-language clinical studies (evidence levels I through IV) comparing the results of RTSA with those of hemiarthroplasty (HA) for the trea...
The proximal humerus internal locking system is an internal fixation device consisting of a low-profile plate and locking screws, which is used for the fixation of three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus. We describe a case in which the screws cut out of the humeral head causing injury to the axillary artery necessitating urgent removal of the implant.
The four-part fracture complex described by Neer is a rare but severely disabling injury to the proximal humerus [18]. It is an injury which, while historically rare, has become increasingly more common as the population ages and remains physiologically active. This injury is specifically disabling when it involves the dominant arm. The severity of this injury is due to the associated vascular ...
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...
Introduction Proximal humerus fractures are common in the elderly. The evaluation and management of these injuries is often controversial. The purpose of this study is to review recent evidence and provide updated recommendations for treating proximal humerus fractures in the elderly. Methods A literature review of peer-reviewed publications related to the evaluation and management of proxima...
Current knowledge regarding the basic epidemiology of fractures is largely limited to a few fracture sites, notably those of the hip and distal forearm. To clarify the patterns of incidence of limb fractures in the elderly, we used data from a 5% sample of the U.S. Medicare population over age 65 years during the years 1986-1990. We identified incident fractures of the proximal humerus, other p...
BACKGROUND There has been lack of epidemiology of proximal humerus fracture using nationwide database in Asia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of proximal humerus fracture and its mortality following proximal humerus fracture in Korean over 50 years of age. METHODS The Korean National Health Insurance data were evaluated to determine the incidence and mortality of p...
The fracture of the upper end of the humerus is the third most frequent fracture in the elderly and its distribution is bimodal, preferentially affecting osteoporotic elderly patients after low energy trauma or, more rarely, young subjects as a consequence of severe kinetic mechanism The treatment of complex fractures of the proximal humerus is the subject of much controversy. Telegraph nail is...
BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fracture is the third most common fracture type after hip and distal radius fracture in elderly patients. A comprehensive study by Palvanen et al. demonstrated an increase in the annual fracture rate of 13.7% per year over the past 33 years. Should this trend continue, the fracture rate would triple over the next three decades. The increasing incidence of low-energy ...
OBJECTIVE To analyze the epidemiological aspects of proximal humerus fractures and describe the profile of patients with proximal humerus fractures hospitalized and treated at Hospital São Paulo, between 2008 and 2013. METHODS Hospital records were retrospectively analyzed for surgically treated patients diagnosed with proximal humerus fracture. Age, gender, injury mechanism, length of hospit...
