Surgical management of complex fracture dislocation of proximal humerus: A report of two cases
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Fracture dislocations of the proximal humerus are extremely rare and have poor functional and radiological outcome regardless of many available surgical interventions. We present two such cases where a post traumatic complex fracture dislocations managed by contrasting surgical interventions. Two cases presenting to our institution aged 32 and 58 years managed surgically are reported in this study. The surgical intervention and the implant chosen was with respect to their age and socio-economic status of the patients, which has resulted in a cost effective radiological outcome.
