Comparing treatment results of the aged patients with proximal humerus fractures
Abstract
The paper provides the comparative assessment of treatment results in 171 aged patients with proximal humerus fractures. 102 cases required performing internal locking osteosynthesis. There were 69 cases of conservative treatment. The follow-up carried out in 6-18 months confirmed that the functional results of the surgical procedures have been superior to those of the conservative treatment. Therefore, the internal locking osteosynthesis did not ensure spontaneous recovery of the function of the injured limb. The early rehabilitation of patients is of great importance, first of all. In case of the fracture surgery, the angle stable plates are a method of choice. Some cases of the C type fractures require primary replacement of the shoulder joint.
