Proximal 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...
متن کاملThe Neer Classification for Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture type in individuals older than 65 years, after distal radius and proximal femur fractures [8].

متن کاملProximal humerus fractures in children and adolescents.
Proximal humerus fractures are rare in paediatric traumatology. Metaphyseal fractures account for about 70% of cases and epiphyseal separation for the remaining 30%. The development and anatomy of the proximal humerus explain the various fracture types, displacements, and potential complications; and also help in interpreting the radiographic findings, most notably in young children.

متن کاملProximal humerus fractures - current treatment options.
Proximal humerus fractures represent an increasing challenge for the health system due to epidemiological changes. As estimated by a Finnish study group the number of fractures may triple by the year 2030. The majority of patients with these fractures are older than 60 years and in this population most of the proximal humerus fractures have been related to osteoporosis. Nondisplaced fractures a...
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...
