FRACTURE OF ANATOMIC NECK OF HUMERUS: WITH SUBCORACOID DISPLACEMENT OF LOWER FRAGMENTPatient. —W. S., a colored man, aged 50, gave a history of having had a fall on his right shoulder several weeks prior to the time I saw him. The right arm as a result was absolutely useless. ...
The humerus (humeral bone) is the single bone found in the arm and is the largest bone in the upper limb. It is classified as a long bone and includes the following bony features: - parts: head, anatomical neck, greater and lesser tubercles, body, and condyle; - surfaces: anterolateral...
Fracture of the anatomical neck rarely occurs. The Anatomical Neck (collum anatomicum) is obliquely directed, forming an obtuse angle with the body. It is best marked in the lower half of its circumference; in the upper half it is represented by a narrow groove separating the head from the...

defines six groups based on displacement of one or more of the four main segments (I, minimal displacement; II, displaced anatomic neck fracture; III, displaced surgical neck fracture; IV, displaced greater tuberosity fracture; V, displaced lesser tuberosity fracture; and VI, fracture-dislocation)...

The proximal humerus has two necks. The anatomic neck is the old epiphyseal plate, and the surgical neck is the metaphyseal area below the humeral head. The blood supply is the anterior and posterior humeral circumflex artery with the axillary nerve as the major nerve of this region. The hume...
The anatomic neck of the humerus circumscribes the head and separates it from the tuberosities. The lesser and greater tuberosities project off the anterior and lateral aspects of the proximal humerus respectively and form the intervening intertubercular (bicipital) groove. The narrowing of the ...
[10]. In an acute context, initial therapy consists of immobilization and pain management. Then, managerial objectives might be classified as operative or nonoperative. In cases of minimally displaced surgical and anatomic neck fractures, sling immobilization along with gradually increasing therapy is ...
rehabilitation is advocated in minimally displaced surgical and anatomic neck fractures. The acceptable amount of displacement with respect to an isolated greater tuberosity fracture remains debated. Recent literature has advocated for earlier surgical management in these isolated, two-part fracture pattern ...
