Meanings of humeral fracture in English

Thirty-eight consecutive shoulders were treated with hemiarthroplasty after proximal humeral fracture.

Background: The goal of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of physical therapy in restoring function and mobility after a pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture.

We aimed to characterize postoperative pain and opioid use for an archetypal pediatric orthopaedic procedure: closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of a supracondylar humeral fracture.

Results: Seven children ages 7-14 years (five boys, two girls) presented with elbow pain and history of distal humeral fracture.

Background: Proximal humeral fractures with substantial metaphyseal comminution are challenging to treat.

This entity is a rare complication of distal humeral fractures in children.

Introduction: The optimal surgical treatment for displaced proximal humeral fractures continues to be controversial.

Proximal humeral fractures are frequent injuries in older patients.

Background: Neer Group VI proximal humeral fractures often are related to persistent disability despite surgical treatment.

Background: Locking plates for open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF) of proximal humeral fractures are widely used.

Materials and methods: In a prospective study, 112 consecutive patients with displaced proximal humeral fractures were treated.

Conclusion: Fishtail deformity of the distal humerus is a rare complication of distal humeral fractures in children.

Background: Since 2003, we have used the Proximal Humerus Interlocking System plate for treatment of proximal humeral fractures.

Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of seven cases of fishtail deformity after distal humeral fractures.

Importance: The need for surgery for the majority of patients with displaced proximal humeral fractures is unclear, but its use is increasing.

There are predictive factors for complications after the treatment of Neer Group VI proximal humeral fractures with the PHILOS(®) plate.
