EVALUATION OF PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES AND ITS NON-SURGICAL MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Fractures of the proximal humerus are common and present a challenge to the attending surgeon. A thorough evaluation should consist of precise history, taking and physical examination, accompanied by relevant imaging studies. Confronted with literature in support of differing treatment recommendations, a surgeon must then decide upon the optimal treatment plan for each individual patient. This report presents own experiences of authors in discussion to the current literature on the topic.
