The 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 کاملThe Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Vascularity of the Humeral Head after Proximal Humeral Fractures
We studied the arterial anatomy and the effect of fourpart fractures on the vascularity of the humeral head, using barium sulphate perfusion of 16 cadaver shoulders. The main arterial supply to the humeral head was via the ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery and its intraosseous continuation, the arcuate artery. There were significant intraosseous anastomoses between the ...
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 کاملFractures involving splitting of the humeral head.
Splitting fractures of the humeral head are rare; part of the humeral head dislocates and the unfractured part remains attached to the shaft. We report eight cases in young patients. In five the diagnosis was made at presentation: three had minimal internal fixation using a superior subacromial approach, one had a closed reduction and one a primary prosthetic replacement. All five patients rega...
