one articulating structure, the humeral head, which is covered in cartilage and separated from the tuberosities by the anatomical neck; • the upper part of the humeral shaft, separated from the tuberosities by the surgical neck, is the terminal bone insertion for three powerful adductor and...

However, fracture patterns, particularly fractures of the anatomical neck and the disruption of the medial hinge, appear to have a predictive value [11, 26]. In the study presented, all 3 selected fracture-related parameters demonstrated a high OR (3.1–3.9), and were therefore appropriately ...
This classification differentiates between intracapsular/impacted fracture sequelae (associated with both cephalic collapse or necrosis [type 1] and chronic dislocation or fracture-dislocation [type 2]), and extracapsular/disimpacted fracture sequelae (associated with both surgical neck nonunions [type 3]...
[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 ...
Displaced subcapital fractures of the humerus are difficult to manage due to the specific anatomical and biological conditions in the proximal humerus. With respect to the fracture type and extent of displacement of the humeral head and ... E Gautier,T Slongo,R. Jakob - Zeitschrift fur Unfallch...
The optimal surgical access for the locking plate remains controversial, with two main approaches being widely used: ORIF with open deltopectoral (DP) approach and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with deltosplit (DS) approach. The first one is the most common (15, 16), being ...
Fractures of the humerus are relatively common fractures that occur typically with either high-energy trauma in younger patients or low energy mechanisms in the elderly population. This chapter will focus primarily on proximal humerus fractures and humeral shaft fractures, specifically addressing clinical ...
Lill and Josten stated three basic requirements for the successful therapy of proximal humerus fractures: correct fracture classification, individual therapy concept based on fracture and patient, physiological, anatomical reduction and stability of the fracture with the aim of postoperative functional treatme...
