Background Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is being increasingly used for complex,
displaced fractures of the proximal humerus in older patients. Anatomic tuberosity healing in …

Background: Complex proximal humeral fractures that are not amenable to surgical fixation
represent a difficult treatment problem. The purpose of this systematic review was to critically …

Background There is no consensus on what type of arthroplasty is best for the treatment of
complex proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients. The purpose of this prospective …

The majority of proximal humerus fractures are low-energy osteoporotic injuries in the
elderly and their incidence is increasing in the light of an ageing population. The diversity of …

This study evaluates different operative treatment options for patients with metastatic
fractures of the humerus focusing on surgical procedures, complications, function, and …

Purpose Shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) is now rarely indicated for complex proximal
humeral fractures due to its unpredictable characteristic of the greater tuberosity (GT) …

Background Functional outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) can be
improved by fixation of the tuberosities. This study compares clinical and radiologic results of …

Introduction Cemented stem remains the gold standard for prosthesis in trauma. The
purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of a …

Background: Proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients present with severe comminution
and osteoporotic bone quality. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has lately been proven …

This is a report of a study on the long term results of PHILOS plating and percutaneous K-
wire fixation in a prospective series of proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients. We …
