[Measurement of screw length through drilling technique in osteosynthesis of the proximal humerus fractures].
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the efficacy of screw length measurement through drilling technique on the reduction of intraarticular screw penetration and fluoroscopy time in osteosynthesis of proximal humerus fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2008 and June 2012, 98 patients (34 males, 64 females; mean age 64.4 years; range 35 to 81 years) who underwent osteosynthesi...
متن کاملLocking plate osteosynthesis in displaced 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is considerable uncertainty about the optimal treatment of displaced 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus. Within the last decade, locking plate technology has been considered a breakthrough in the treatment of these complex injuries. METHODS We systematically identified and reviewed clinical studies on the benefits and harms after osteosynthesis with locking ...
متن کاملMinimally invasive plate osteosynthesis using a helical plate for metadiaphyseal complex fractures of the proximal humerus.
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been used for humeral shaft fractures, but concerns exist about soft tissue injuries. The purpose of this study was to report the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of MIPO using a helical plate for metadiaphyseal complex humeral shaft fractures. Twelve patients with acute displacement involving proximal and middle third humeral shaft fra...
متن کاملDynamic-locking-screw (DLS)–leads to less secondary screw perforations in proximal humerus fractures
BACKGROUND Loss of reduction and screw perforation causes high failure rates in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the early postoperative complications using modern Dynamic Locking Screws (DLS 3.7) for plating of proximal humerus fractures. METHODS Between 03/2009 and 12/2010, 64 patients with acute proximal humerus fractures were tr...
متن کاملProximal humerus fractures.
Proximal humerus fractures are among the most common fractures associated with osteoporosis. With an aging population, incidence of these fractures will only increase. The proximal humerus not only forms the lateral portion of the shoulder articulation but also has significant associations with musculoskeletal and neurovascular structures. As a result, fractures of the proximal humerus can sign...
