5 kwi 2024 · This comprehensive review delves into the intricate landscape of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs), exploring their epidemiology, historical evolution, contemporary classification systems, treatment strategies, and outcome measures.
11 kwi 2019 · Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHF) is a source of a dilemma to most of us. While literature supports conservative treatment, 1, 2, 3 there is an increasing trend of surgical intervention in the last 20 years. Recent advances in fixation methods encouraged many to fix them surgically.
1 paź 2023 · The evidence suggests that early mobilization of conservatively managed minimally displaced proximal humerus fractures may lead to a faster recovery of shoulder function, with maximal recovery achieved sooner.
25 lut 2023 · Surgical management of significantly displaced, unstable proximal humerus fractures should aim to stabilise the fracture adequately and provide satisfactory function for the long term. Management of the greater tuberosity is pivotal for the eventual outcome.
