Most proximal humeral fractures are stable injuries of the ageing population, and can be
successfully treated non-operatively. The management of the smaller number of more …

Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to examine trends, outcomes, and
principles in treatment of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly with a critical focus on …

BACKGROUND: Complex acute proximal humeral fractures may require prosthetic
replacement of the proximal humerus. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been …

The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical and radiographical results
of non-operative treatment of displaced multifragmental fractures of the proximal humerus …

Background: The optimal treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures in adults remains
controversial. We evaluated the risk of complications and the long-term outcomes in patients …

Objective: To compare the mechanical stability of a fixed-angle blade plate with that of a
locking plate in a cadaveric proximal humerus fracture-fixation model subjected to cyclic …

Using a dynamic biomechanical model of malunion of the shoulder, we have determined the
change in deltoid force required for abduction with various combinations of superior and …

Background: There have been few randomized controlled trials evaluating nonoperative
treatment of proximal humeral fractures. To investigate shortening the period of …

INTRODUCTION:: There is little outcome data on functional results after non-operative
treatment of greater tuberosity fractures, and no clear evidence in minimally displaced (1 …

A chart review of 20 patients who sustained acute proximal humeral fractures and who were
treated by surgical stabilization with locked antegrade humeral intramedullary nails (Polarus …
