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.
Humeral shaft fractures can be treated operatively or non-operatively. Operative treatment is mostly performed by intramedullary nailing, plate osteosynthesis, or external fixation. Non-operative immobilization is mostly done with a functional (Sarmiento) brace [4].
4 sie 2023 · Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) account for 5-6% of all adult fractures[1]. There is increasing recognition given in regard to managing these fractures in the setting of elderly, low-energy falls as these events are contributing to the global impact of direct and indirect costs of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Moreover, as the general population continues to age and an increasing ...
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.
25 lut 2022 · In summary, non-surgical treatment is still the gold standard in the treatment of these fractures, but the indications for surgical management are now clearer and include early signs of delayed...
9 lut 2022 · To achieve early functional recovery, treatment should focus on timely fracture healing and preventing malalignment. In this study, malalignment only occurred after nonoperative treatment, with 11 out of 14 patients requiring revision surgery.
Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the humerus. Treatment can be nonoperative or operative depending on location of fracture, fracture morphology, and association with other ipsilateral injuries.
