Long-term outcome of nonunion of the lateral humeral condyle fracture in children: a multicentre retrospective study
PurposeLateral humeral condyle nonunion in children is a rare condition. The treatment protocol for nonunion of lateral humeral condyle remains...

Humeral shaft fracture: systematic review of non-operative and operative treatment
IntroductionHumeral shaft fractures can be treated non-operatively or operatively. The optimal management is subject to debate. The aim was to...
-
Comparative study of mechanical performance of various fixation constructs in multifragmentary distal humeral shaft fracture: a finite element analysis
BackgroundThere has been no scientific mechanical assessment demonstrating the optimal fixation technique in multifragmentary fractures of the distal...

The effect of integrity of lesser tuberosity-medial calcar on postoperative outcome in the proximal humeral fracture
BackgroundIn proximal humeral fractures, the medial calcar is often considered an important stabilizing structure. When the medial calcar is...

Simultaneous acromioclavicular dislocation, proximal humeral fracture, and reverse Hill–Sachs lesion: a case report
BackgroundIn cases with injuries to the shoulder region, the combination of acromioclavicular joint dislocation, reverse Hill–Sachs lesion, and...

Tuberosity refixation improves functional outcome following primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty in proximal humeral fracture
IntroductionThe purpose of this prospective study was to examine clinical results of tuberosity refixation in RSA for the treatment of displaced PHF...
-
Fracture line and comminution zone characteristics, and rotator cuff footprint involvement in OTA/AO 11C3-type proximal humeral fractures: complex proximal humerus fracture map
PurposeTo identify fracture characteristics and zones of comminution as well as the relationship with anatomic landmarks and rotator cuff footprint...
-
Biomechanical analysis of push–pull principle versus traditional approach in locking plates for proximal humeral fracture treatment
IntroductionProximal humerus fractures are usually treated with locking plates, which could present recurrence, screw penetration, joint varization....
-
Lateral minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with long PHILOS for proximal metaphyseal-diaphyseal humeral fracture: surgical techniques and a clinical series
The minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for proximal metaphyseal-diaphyseal humeral fracture is an effective alternative treatment with...

Non-operative management of humeral periprosthetic fracture after stemless shoulder arthroplasty
PurposePeriprosthetic fractures around a stemless implant often involve lesser and greater tuberosities with a well-fixed implant in the metaphysis....
-
Prognostic factors and prediction model for 1-year mortality after proximal humeral fracture
SummaryThe goal was to investigate if patient characteristics can be used to predict 1-year post-fracture mortality after proximal humeral fracture...

Surgical flip-dislocation of the bicolumnar approach without olecranon osteotomy versus olecranon osteotomy in type AO 13C3 distal humeral fracture: a matched-cohort study
BackgroundOur experience with the surgical flip-dislocation of the bicolumnar (SFDB) approach for type AO 13C3 humeral fractures indicates that this...
-
Iatrogenic open humeral shaft fractures following functional bracing
IntroductionThe treatment of closed humeral shaft fractures tends to be successful with functional bracing. Treatment failure due to iatrogenic...
-
Catastrophic failure of a titanium locking plate in a proximal humeral fracture: case report and literature review
BackgroundAngular stable locking plates have shown good clinical results in treating proximal humeral fractures, but complications are not uncommon....
-
Does the proximal humeral bone quality influence alignment after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with short humeral stems?
PurposeWhen compared to standard-length humeral stem in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), short humeral stems in RTSA require good proximal...
-
Humeral torsional side differences after nonoperative treatment of proximal humerus fractures and humeral shaft fractures: clinical and ultrasonographic assessment
BackgroundThe purposes of this study were to investigate (1) sonographic humeral torsion (SHT) and side differences (∆SHT), and (2) to determine the...
-
Economic evaluation of operative versus nonoperative treatment of a humeral shaft fracture: economic analyses alongside a multicenter prospective cohort study (HUMMER)
PurposeOperative treatment of a humeral shaft fracture results in faster recovery than nonoperative treatment. The cost-effectiveness, in terms of...
-
Shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humeral fracture treatment: a retrospective functional outcome analysis
PurposeFollowing proximal humeral fractures hemiarthroplasty (HA) or reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) are performed if osteosynthesis or...
-
Inferior subluxation of humeral head after osteosynthesis for greater tuberosity fracture
BackgroundInferior subluxation of the humeral head is frequently observed immediately after surgery for proximal humerus fractures; however, the...
