Four-part fractures of the neck of the humerus.
نویسنده
چکیده
Four-part fractures of the upper end of the humerus are uncommon injuries and there is still dispute about the best form of management. A retrospective study of 32 patients with these injuries has shown that non-operative management is frequently followed by persistent pain, stiffness and dysfunction of the shoulder. A prospective study of 49 patients with this injury presenting at the Bristol Royal Infirmary has shown that reconstruction of the upper end of the humerus with insertion of a Neer prosthesis will usually restore comfort and function. Whichever regimen is employed, disability is prolonged and dedicated physiotherapy is essential in their management.

Background & Aims: supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most common pediatric elbow fractures accounting for about 16% of the pediatric fractures. Loss of reduction is one of the complications after closed and percutaneous fixation. This research is aimed to investigate the factors involved in the loss of reduction.

متن کاملHemiarthroplasty for three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures.
Displaced three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures are among the most challenging shoulder conditions to manage. Because of the risk of symptomatic malunion, nonunion, and humeral head osteonecrosis, surgical management is preferred. Locking plate technology has provided an alternative to hemiarthroplasty for certain three- and four-part fracture patterns, even in the setting of osteopen...
متن کاملOpen reduction and fixation of proximal humeral fractures and fracture-dislocations.
Open reduction and internal fixation was employed in the treatment of 25 severely displaced fractures and fracture-dislocations of the proximal humerus. Our aims were accurate reduction and stable fixation to allow early mobilisation and to achieve full functional recovery. In 15 fractures an AO T-plate was used and in 10 a bent semitubular plate was employed as a blade plate. Excellent or sati...

BACKGROUND Proximal humeral fractures are with an incidence of 4-5 % the third most common fractures in the elderly. In 20 % of humeral fractures there is an indication for surgical treatment according to the modified Neer-Criteria. A secondary varus dislocation of the head fragment and cutting-out are the most common complications of angle stable locking plates in AO11-A3 fractures of the elde...
