A Clinical Profile of Proximal Humerus Fracture
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Education - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: In the young people, It occurs following high energy trauma. Low velocity injuries like simple fall, domestic injuries will cause fractures in elderly patients older than 50 years (9). The last and least common cause of proximal humerus fracture is due to pathological fractures. Methodology: This was a prospective study of 21 cases of proximal humerus fractures in adults treated by surgical fixation with proximal humerus locking plate. Patients aged above 20yrs and who gave their consent participated in the study. Results: In this study, 70% of study subjects were aged less than 50 years and 76% were males. Among 66.7% of patients right side was involved and RTA occurred in 76.39% of patients. Conclusion: Three part type of fracture was more common.
