The literature does not contain clear, evidence-based guidelines for the surgical management. This case report highlights the case of a 33-year-old male patient who presented with anatomical neck humerus fracture dis-location after a snowboarding accident. Computed tomography showed a comminuted ...
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...
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...
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]...
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 humer
[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 ...
Despite the continuous increase in the number of PHFs (4), only a few reports on the clinical outcomes of the DP and DS surgical approaches have been published so far, especially when considering the need to account for the main confounder: the type of fracture. When evaluating the effective...

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...
