Open reduction internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures

Open reduction internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.

The treatment of proximal humerus fractures continues to evolve. While the many of these injuries can be managed nonoperatively, a certain percentage require operative treatment. Open reduction internal fixation can offer excellent outcomes when performed in the appropriate patient and utilizing proper techniques. This article reviews the most up-to-date literature regarding all phases of proxi...

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Distal Humerus Fractures

The goal in the management of distal humerus fractures is to obtain rigid internal fixation that allows immediate rehabilitation of the extremity. The advent of anatomic plating systems as well a systematic approach to these injuries facilitates these goals. This article outlines our approach to these complex problems from injury through rehabilitation.

Fibular Strut Graft Augmentation for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Proximal Humerus Fractures

BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures are common problems plaguing the elderly population. PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to determine the outcomes of fibular strut allografts in treatment of proximal humerus fractures with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and to present the authors' preferred surgical technique. The hypothesis was that the use of fibular strut allografts in t...

Open reduction and Internal Fixation of Displaced Proximal Humerus Fractures with AO Stainless Steel T-Plate

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Proximal humeral fractures are considered the last unsolved fractures in orthopaedics. The treatment is controversial and various operative modalities have been reported in the literature. The aim of the present study was to evaluate functional outcome and complication rate after open reduction and internal fixation of displaced proximal humerus fractures by proximal hume...
