1
Methods: Thirty-nine patients were treated with a MUTARS endoprosthesis of the proximal humerus.
2
Discussion: Various reconstruction techniques for the proximal humerus lead to relatively similar functional results.
3
In the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures, primary hemiarthroplasty is still discussed controversially.
4
In such patients, an intramedullary cage may allow for reconstruction of the proximal humerus.
5
Muscles around the proximal humerus were reattached to the clavicle.
6
Purpose: The proximal humerus is a common location for both primary and metastatic bone tumors.
7
Conclusion: PHILOS provides stable fixation in proximal humerus fractures.
8
A review was performed to evaluate early outcomes of ORIF with proximal humerus locking plates.
9
Background: Primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty is an established treatment modality for complex fractures of the proximal humerus.
10
In this study, the authors assess the strength of proximal humerus fracture fixation using different methods.
11
An 11-year-old boy presented with shoulder pain, and the diagnosis was osteosarcoma of the right proximal humerus.
12
Two had endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus and two underwent below-knee amputation after aggressive local recurrence.
13
Conclusions: Osteoporotic bone of older patients often may not permit stable internal fixation of complex proximal humerus fractures.
14
Conclusion: The use of locking plates in the treatment of displaced proximal humerus fractures is becoming more widespread.
15
These results do not support the trend of increased surgery for patients with displaced fractures of the proximal humerus.
16
Conclusions: Replacement of the proximal humerus with MUTARS endoprosthesis is a viable treatment option for bone tumors with satisfying results.
