Updated classification system for proximal humeral fractures.
Proximal humeral fractures can restrict daily activities and, therefore, deserve efficient diagnoses that minimize complications and sequels. For good diagnosis and treatment, patient characteristics, variability in the forms of the fractures presented, and the technical difficulties in achieving fair results with surgical treatment should all be taken into account. Current classification syste...
متن کاملProximal humeral fractures: current concepts in classification, treatment and outcomes.
Most proximal humeral fractures are stable injuries of the ageing population, and can be successfully treated non-operatively. The management of the smaller number of more complex displaced fractures is more controversial and new fixation techniques have greatly increased the range of fractures that may benefit from surgery. This article explores current concepts in the classification and clini...
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 کاملPhilos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of Philos plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures. METHODS Functional outcomes of 31 men and 27 women aged 36 to 73 (mean, 61) years who underwent Philos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Indications for surgery were 3-part (n=33) or 4-part (n=25) closed proximal humeral fractures with angulation of more than 45...
