Once the fracture is stabilized, therapy may follow an advanced nonoperative treatment protocol. Depending on the type of surgical procedure performed, there are some special therapy considerations. Close communication with the surgeon is essential. ...
This study aims to assess the impact of virtual rehabilitation in adjunct to conventional physical therapy on proximal humerus fracture.MethodsThis study is a randomized controlled trial in which 50 patients were divided randomly into two groups: 25 pat...
Postoperative Therapy The progression of postsurgical repairs (i.e., internal fixation, ORIF) of proximal humeral fractures follows the same treatment guidelines as for nonoperative treatment but may progress at a faster rate because of the stabilization of the fracture provided by the surgery. An ...

However, a uniformly agreed upon protocol for non-operative treatment of PHFs does not currently exist. A review of the literature demonstrates a wide range of immobilization devices, immobilization time, and physical therapy protocols. Non-operatively treated PHFs are frequently treated in a ...
The patient seemed to benefit from a short immobilization period (two weeks instead of six) and more aggressive application of the assigned protocol. Due to the gap between the end of the immobilization period and when the patient began physical therapy, it could not be determined whether the ...
Botulinum toxin has previously been described as a potential adjunctive therapy for fracture immobilization but has not yet been described in the setting of distal humerus fractures. Case Report: A 75-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease-associated psychosis presented 2 weeks afte...
