Complex Fracture Of The Proximal Humerus Treated With Shoulder Prosthesis
نویسنده
چکیده
Fractures of the upper end of the humerus that interrupt the blood supply to the humeral head may justify a prosthetic replacement. A rigorous analysis of the patient's condition and the type of fracture is a prerequisite before rejecting an indication of orthopedic treatment or fixation. The result of a hemiarthroplasty is mainly conditioned by compliance with technical rules whose purpose is to obtain anatomic and stable fixation of the tuberositis around the prosthesis to restore normal shoulder function. We report the case of a complex fracture-dislocation of the upper end of the humerus treated with a humeral prosthesis.

Hemiarthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures. Indications, pitfalls, and technique.
Complex displaced proximal humerus fractures are frequently treated with a fracture prosthesis. This paper outlines the indications, introduces various fracture prostheses, describes the surgical technique, and rehabilitation for treatment of proximal humerus fractures with a fracture prosthesis hemiarthroplasty. Outcomes are noted to be improved when near anatomic humeral head height, and retr...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of a new custom offset shoulder prosthesis for treatment of complex fractures of the proximal humerus.
Primary hemiarthroplasty of the shoulder is an accepted procedure to treat complex proximal humeral fractures. The goal of this study was to assess the functional outcome in patients treated with hemiarthroplasty using a custom offset shoulder prosthesis, either for an acute four-part fracture of the proximal humerus or following failed primary treatment of a complex humeral fracture. Thirty se...

BACKGROUND Proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients present with severe comminution and osteoporotic bone quality. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has lately been proven beneficial in treating patients with complex proximal humeral fractures. The above technique is recommended and has better results in elderly than in younger individuals. METHODS We performed a literature search in the da...

Fracture sequelae of the proximal humerus poses a complex management decision due to the frequent deformity and its consequences on the peri-articular soft tissues. These patients are frequently elderly with significant medical comorbidities. Due to the age of the patient there is frequently rotator cuff deficiency and therefore the reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) becomes the arthroplasty o...
