Assessment Of Outcome Of Proximal Humerus Fractures Treated With Various Surgical Modalities In Elderly
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Displaced proximal humeral fractures when treated surgically produce less pain, less stiffness and greater ROM. Earlier the surgery better are the results. In severely comminuted fractures where anatomy cannot be restored without extensive soft tissue dissection, fixation with K wires and screws gave better functional results. Results are better with fractures than with fracture dislocations. Results are best when operative method results in stable fixation that allows early passive mobilization. Functional outcome of 2 part fractures is better than 3 part and 4 part fractures. The patients were followed up at regular intervals preoperatively, immediate post operative and was followed up for the first 3 months after the procedure and evaluated 6 months later.
