TL;DR
Functional cast bracing yields high union rates and good functional outcomes for humeral shaft fractures, with minimal complications.
Background: Humeral shaft fractures require restoration of alignment while preserving soft tissue. Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with anterior bridge plating aims to achieve stable fixation with minimal soft‑tissue disruption. This study evaluated the functional, clinical, and radiological outcomes of...
Background Periprosthetic humeral fractures (PPHFs) after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are challenging complications, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporotic bone and multiple comorbidities. Although surgical treatment is commonly recommended for displaced fractures, conservative management may...
Operative management of displaced clavicle fractures provides superior early functional outcomes, faster fracture union, and lower rates of nonunion and symptomatic malunion compared with conservative treatment compared with conservative treatment.
Humeral shaft fracture nonunion remains a complex orthopaedic challenge associated with persistent pain, functional impairment, and reduced quality of life. Revision surgery is frequently required following failed primary fixation, with the primary objectives of achieving osseous union, restoring alignment, and improvi...
Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) most commonly affect elderly, osteoporotic women, although younger patients sustain them through high-energy trauma. Both incidence and the associated healthcare burden continue to rise with demographic ageing. Non-operative management is preferred for undisplaced fractures and for man...
Background: Clavicle fractures are common injuries of the shoulder girdle, with displaced fractures potentially resulting in malunion, nonunion, and impaired shoulder function when managed conservatively. Plate osteosynthesis provides stable fixation and facilitates early postoperative mobilization. However, assessment...
