Failures of Operative Treatment of Comminuted Fractures of Proximal Humerusin in Own Material.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. Our observations indicate that anatomical repositioning of bone fragments, especially those containing articular surface and muscle attachments, and their firm stabilization as well as proper implant positioning are crucial for the final result. 2. In some cases objective and unpredictable factors influencing the type and time of intervention affect the final results. 3. In those cases the decision to operate seems to be controversial. 4. The possibility of a pathological fracture should also be remembered, as such fractures require an appropriate oncological treatment. PMID: 30648654 [PubMed - in process]
