Management Of Displaced Proximal Humeral Fractures

نویسنده

چکیده

Treatment decision of displaced proximal humeral fractures is based on bone quality, fracture pattern, degree of displacement and patient profile. The AO/ASIF fracture classification helps in guiding treatment. Nonsurgical treatment consists of sling immobilisation. Surgical options include closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, open reduction and internal fixation with either conventional or locking plate and hemiarthroplasty. Planning should be done on an individual basis depending on patient and fracture characteristics.

Closed reduction and external fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures.

PURPOSE To assess results of closed reduction and external fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures. METHODS 18 men and 2 women aged 18 to 60 (mean, 38) years underwent closed reduction and external fixation using a standard AO fixator for displaced fractures of the proximal humerus.

A Review of Management Options for Proximal Humeral Fractures

Proximal humeral fractures are common and although the majority can be managed non-operatively, the optimal treatment of displaced or complex fractures remains controversial. Non-operative treatment is typically selected for minimally displaced fractures where union rates are high and good or excellent outcomes can be expected in approximately 80% of cases. The aims of surgical fixation are to ...
