Aim Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is commonly used for glenohumeral
osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with an intact rotator cuff. The aim of this study was to quantify …

Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are among the most common upper-extremity fractures,
with a rising incidence linked to the growing elderly population. Treatment options include …

Postoperative shoulder activity after proximal humerus fracture treatment could influence the
outcomes of osteosynthesis and may depend on the rehabilitation protocol. This multi …

The optimal treatment strategy for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) is debatable owing to
the relatively high failure rate of locking plates. Optimizing implants may enhance the fixation …

Background Evaluation of the mechanical behavior of the microstructure of cancellous bone
seems important for the understanding of the mechanical behavior of bone. Prevention and …

Background To assess how tuberosity treatment affects the short-term clinical outcome of
patients with complex proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) treated with reverse shoulder …

Background age-related fragility fractures cause significant burden of disease. Within an
ageing society, fracture and complication prevention will be essential to balance health …

Introduction Proximal humerus fractures are common and often associated with
osteoporosis in the elderly. Unfortunately, the complication and revision rate for joint …

Background Various surgical techniques and conservative therapies are useful tools for
treating proximal humerus fractures (PHFs), but it is important to understand how to properly …

Objectives: To assess fracture union rates using novel intramedullary plate technique. Post-
