Percutaneous Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fractures
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons15 CHAPTER2 Percutaneous Treatment ofProximal Humerus FracturesPeter J. Millet, MD, MScJon Warner, MDProximal Humerus Fractures are common, andabout 80% are well managed nonsurgically. Theremaining 20% present a therapeutic challengebecause surgical stabilization is necessary toensure healing and to optimize function. The priorities insurgical stabilization of Proximal Humerus Fractures are(1) restoring the anatomic relationship between thetuberosities and the articular head fragment and (2) main-taining vascularity of the articular reduc-tion and internal fixation may allow for rigid fracturefixation, but soft-tissue dissection may endanger residualvascularity of the articular segment.
