EVALUATION OF PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES AND ITS NON-SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 15
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.
