The purpose of this study was to evaluate predictors of fracture-induced humeral head ischemia. Between February 1998 and December 2001, 100 intracapsular fractures of the proximal humerus, treated by open surgery, were included in a prospective surgical evaluation protocol (mean age, 60 years; ...
Overall incidence of humeral head PS: 20.0% (103/515) Not requiring surgery: 17.1% (66/385) Requiring surgery: 35.5% (44/124) P value < .0001∗ 0-part fracture: 2.6% (2/78) 2-part fracture: 18.4% (32/174) 3-part fracture: 24.3% (50/206) 4-part fracture: 35.1% (20/57)...
A 45-year-old man who had an isolated, non-displaced GT fracture in a motorbike accident is the subject of this case report. The patient received a new virtual reality (VR) intervention and a thorough rehabilitation programme after an initial period of immobility. Through the VR component, ...
However, complications such as screw perforation, humeral head necrosis, and secondary fracture displacement are common [11, 12]. So far, long-term results following angular stable plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures are limited in the literature, especially for elderly patients [13,14,15...

Methods: This prospective randomised study included 37 patients treated with hemiarthroplasty for four-part fractures, fracture dislocations and head-splitting fractures. The LHB was left intact in 18 patients (group 1) and tenodesis was performed in 19 patients (group 2). The mean age was 51.0...
The fact that the minimally invasive and soft tissue鈥搒paring Humerusblock technique enables a dynamic fixation of the head fragment that allows for controlled sintering and fracture consolidation without major cutout complications when adhering to the postoperative treatment protocol makes this technique ...
We calculated the volumetric reduction of control volume segments for each fracture through a specific mathematical protocol.Results The measurement of the head displacement angles in 20 fractures led to following results: in the coronal plane, 10 varus, 6 valgus, 4 neutral; in the sagittal plane,...
The interclass correlation coefficient was considered good (between 0.85 and 0.90) for the measurements of the normal humeri when the orientation of the articular surface measured in the distal part of the humeral head, the epicondylar axis, and the ulnar axis were used as references. There was...
39 The rotator cuff musculature, when intact, compresses the humeral head against the glenoid, and it is responsible for concentric rotation during range of motion. Over time, the loss of native shoulder mechanics results in unopposed deltoid firing, humeral head elevation, degenerative changes, ...
