Humeral Tip-apex-distance as a Prognostic Marker for Proximal Humeral Fractures in 203 Patients
BACKGROUND Humeral head fractures and their postoperative outcome remain a challenging problem in surgical daily routine. Predictive factors for loss of fixation are rare. OBJECTIVE Determination of predictive factors for the failure of osteosynthesis with the loss of fixation or migration of screws in humeral head fractures. METHOD From 1995 to 2011, 408 patients with proximal humeral frac...
متن کاملThe Outcome of Proximal Humeral Locking Plates in the Management of Three and Four Part Proximal Humeral Fractures in Special Cohort of Young Patients in High Velocity Trauma
Background: Locking plate fixation provides satisfactory outcome following proximal humerus fractures. None of theprevious studies selectively evaluate the outcome in young patients. This study evaluates outcome of locking platesystem in the treatment of acute three- and four-part fractures in young patients.Methods: In this prospective study we included all patients who were less than 60 years...
متن کاملPlating of proximal humeral fractures.
The optimal treatment for proximal humeral fractures is controversial. Few data exist concerning the influence of the surgical approach on the outcome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of proximal humeral fractures treated with locking plate fixation through a deltopectoral vs an anterolateral deltoid-splitting approach. Of 86 patients who met the...
متن کاملProximal humeral fractures: current controversies.
According to Horak and Nilsson, 5% of all fractures of the human body are fractures of the proximal humerus. Palvanen et al reported an increase in these fractures of more than 3-fold between 1970 and 2002. Court-Brown et al found that 70% of all 3and 4-part fractures are seen in patients aged over 60 years and 50% in patients aged over 70 years. These results indicate that poor bone quality or...
متن کاملPhilos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of Philos plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures. METHODS Functional outcomes of 31 men and 27 women aged 36 to 73 (mean, 61) years who underwent Philos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Indications for surgery were 3-part (n=33) or 4-part (n=25) closed proximal humeral fractures with angulation of more than 45...
