Article Synopsis
- Proximal humerus fractures are common, especially in older adults, and while many can be treated conservatively, complex cases increasingly require surgical intervention.
- A multicenter study in Italy from 2014-2018 evaluated external fixation in 110 patients with these fractures, measuring outcomes at 1, 2, and 6 months using the Oxford Shoulder Scale and DASH scores.
- Results indicated significant improvement in patient scores over time, supporting external fixation as an effective and less invasive alternative for treating complex proximal humeral fractures, especially in patients with osteoporosis and high functional demands.
