What is Proximal Humeral Fracture Overview about?
1) Proximal humeral fractures involve the humeral head, greater tuberosity, lesser tuberosity, and surgical neck. 2) Displacement of fragments depends on attached muscle forces - greater tuberosity displaces superiorly and posteriorly. 3) Treatment depends on fracture classification according to Neer, ranging from sling immobilization for nondisplaced fractures to open reduction and internal fixation or shoulder arthroplasty for multifragmentary fractures.
