Fracture, Humeral Head - TeachMe Orthopedics
2023年12月12日 · AP view shows the articular surface of the humeral head, glenohumeral joint space, and the greater and lesser tuberosities. The axillary view provides better assessment of shoulder dislocations, humeral head compression fractures, and glenoid, coracoid, and lesser tuberosity fractures.
How Long Does Pain Last After Proximal Humerus Fracture?
Most people see significant improvement by six weeks. However, how long does pain last after proximal humerus fracture can vary based on factors like age, overall health, and the fracture’s severity. This post will guide you through what to expect, how to …
Humeral Head Impression Fractures and Head-Splitting Fractures
2016年8月4日 · Impression fractures of the proximal humerus occur with impaction of the humeral head against the glenoid rim at the time of shoulder dislocation. This can occur with an acute, first-time dislocation, but is more common with recurrent dislocations.
Hill-Sachs defect | Radiology Reference Article - Radiopaedia.org
6 天之前 · Hill-Sachs defects are a posterolateral humeral head depression fracture, resulting from the impaction with the anterior glenoid rim, and indicative of an anterior glenohumeral dislocation. It is often associated with a Bankart lesion of the glenoid.
Proximal Humerus Fractures - Connecticut Orthopaedics
The majority of proximal humerus fractures can be treated nonoperatively, however there are some fractures that can benefit from operative intervention. The extent of operative intervention can include percutaneous pinning, open reduction internal fixation, and joint replacement depending on various fracture and patient characteristics.
Humeral Head - ShoulderDoc
This is a compression fracture of the humeral head occurring in recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocations and can be confused with the bare area. [1,11] In contrast to the bare area, it lies on the postero-superior surface and does not contain fenestrations.
ORIF - Compression plating for Simple fracture, oblique
The aim of any surgical fixation of humeral shaft fractures is a stable osteosynthesis of the fracture allowing early passive and active motion. This is crucial to prevent elbow stiffness. The rehabilitation regimen should take account of any damage to soft tissues, either as a result of the injury or due to the surgery.
In the narrow diaphysis, metastatic lesions place the humerus at greatest risk for fracture. Thus, operative fixation is used more aggressively than in the proximal or distal humerus. Intramedullary fixation with flexible or rigid constructs is the treatment of choice for these lesions.
Surgical management of complex humerus head fractures
2010年9月9日 · In high-energy fractures of the proximal humerus, the PHILOS plate would be of special value because the plate is pre-shaped and contoured for the proximal humerus and no compression of the plate is required, which reduces the risk of loss of reduction and preserves the blood supply of the bone.
Proximal Humerus Fracture - SpringerLink
2023年5月6日 · Open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plates is the most widely performed procedure in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in elderly because of allowing for high primary stability in the osteoporotic bone (Tepass et al. 2013).
