The operative management of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus.
Fractures of the proximal humerus may involve either the true articular surface of the glenohumeral joint, the gliding surface of the subacromial joint, or both. Glenohumeral motion and strength rely on intact joints and on the coordinated interplay of the muscles and tendons around the shoulder. Contraction of the muscles of the rotator cuff creates a stabilising compressive force, with a down...
متن کاملEvaluation and Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus fractures are common injuries, especially among older osteoporotic women. Restoration of function requires a thorough understanding of the neurovascular, musculotendinous, and bony anatomy. This paper addresses the relevant anatomy and highlights various management options, including indication for arthroplasty. In the vast majority of cases, proximal humerus fractures may be t...
متن کاملTrends in Surgical Management and Costs for Operative Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fractures in the Elderly.
Proximal humerus fractures in the elderly are increasing in frequency as the population ages. The purpose of this study was to investigate surgical and cost trends in the Medicare population. The PearlDiver database was queried using diagnosis codes to identify Medicare recipients with proximal humerus fractures from 2005 to 2012. Surgical trends, demographics, and charge/reimbursement data wer...
متن کاملReduction of postoperative bleeding following operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures using a collagen sponge
Aim of the present study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of TachoSil to reduce afterbleeding and hematoma following operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures. In a prospective randomized study we included a consecutive series of 40 patients with a proximal humeral fracture in this study. All fractures were stabilized surgically with a fixed-angle “Philos plate” from May 2008 t...
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...
