Proximal humerus fractureThe ideal treatment of proximal humerus fracture remains a controversial topic, especially in the case of complex multi-fragmentary fractures. However, in limited resource settings, alt
There are times when the orthopedic surgeon may choose to perform surgery. For example, if the bone comes through the skin (open fracture) or if the patient has multiple other fractures or injuries. If surgery is chosen, this will be performed through an incision or cut on either the front...
Approximately 20% of these fractures treated without pinning will lose reduction and require delayed surgery.8 Thus, recent AAOS guidelines suggest CRPP as a treatment method for all displaced SCH fractures.6 There are no recommendations for or against attempting closed reduction Pearls...

Fractures of the humerus shaft often are complicated by radial nerve palsy. Controversy still exists in the treatment that includes clinical observation and eventually late surgical exploration or early surgical exploration. Algorithms have been proposed to provide recommendations with regard to management ...

Conclusion The treatment of middle and lower thirds fractures of humerus by anterior platefixation through the anterior approach to the humerus does not interfere with the fracture healing and can prevent the iatrogenic radial nerve injury. Citation: XIE Xiaoping,YE Shuxin,LIN Hai,et al.. THE ...
Conclusions To treat unstable PHFs, the use of at least one MSS along with a locking plate system is sufficient to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Successful operative treatment using a locking plate for PHF treatment is inherent in anatomical fracture reduction, coupled with medial column support.Pee...
TachoSil was found to be safe and effective for reduction of postoperative bleeding following operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures. Further studies with larger sample size are required to confirm the efficacy of TachoSil in orthopedic surgery....
fracture morphology could not be certainly answered on plain radiographs, additional imaging studies (computed and/or magnetic resonance tomography) should be demanded. The evaluation of seven accessory questions provides important information for further treatment planning, especially on the probability of ...
