Proximal humeral fractures. Management techniques and expected results.

Abstract:

:During a ten-year period (1978-1988), 143 of 1386 patients with proximal humeral fractures were treated with internal osteosynthesis. Ninety-seven proximal humeral osteosynthesis cases had adequate documentation, and 77 (80%) were available for clinical review. The 97 fractures were graded by the AO/ASIF classification and included 44 Group A, 32 Group B, and 21 Group C fractures. Exercise-stable osteosynthesis using T-plate, cloverleaf plate, or small condylar plate was performed in 70% of patients. In the remaining patients, a less rigid fixation, with Kirschner wires or screws and cerclage wires, was used. Fifty-two percent of the patients had excellent and good results, 15% had fair results, and 33% had poor results. Most poor results occurred in patients with four-part fractures (61% of poor results). Of the cases involving four-part fractures, however, 22% had an excellent result after internal fixation. Displaced four-part fractures or fracture-dislocations should be treated by reconstruction of the proximal humerus, especially in young patients. The use of minimal fixation rather than rigid fixation is considered after careful assessment of the condition of the soft tissue and blood supply of the humeral head fragments. Primary treatment with endoprostheses is required when internal fixation is impractical in AO/ASIF fracture Types C 2/3 and C3 fractures. Improved clinical results may be achieved, particularly in the more severe fracture types, with increased experience in techniques of internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures.
